Riding safely
Three rules for every rider, in every grade and every race:
- Red flashing rear light on, for the whole race. Drivers see a flashing light long before they see a rider.
- Never overtake a car, including the follow car of another grade. If a car is ahead of the bunch, the race waits behind it.
- Stay left of the centre line, at all times, including on corners and in the sprint. The roads are open to traffic.

Graded scratch: a 6 km start lap to the finish line, then 16.6 km loops through Forreston. Entry $25 · trial licence riders free · transponder hire $15 (buy $20) · entries close Saturday 9:00am.
