These must be used in case of an accident so we can identify you. Other numbers on the sheet cater for your bike, helmet, water bottle, bag, meal, drink, travel and party.
There are 2 vest numbers, put one on the front of your outermost layer and the other on your backpack/bumbag. Use your travel number for the bus to the start, and keep the meal and drink numbers for after you cross the finish line. The bike, helmet and water bottle numbers should be placed as appropriate. The bag number will be placed on your goody bag by us.

BIKE DROP & BIKE RELATED ITEMS
After registration you have to place your bike in the Bike Transition Area in the carpark. You will be given instructions on the day from our marshals. You should place your bike on the bike racks in the section relevant to your race number. The Bike TA will be marshaled from 18:00 on Friday until the last bikes have left on Saturday, with the help of security fencing to make the compound as secure as we can. You may leave other items with your bike such as your bike repair kit, water bottle, helmet and cycle specific shoes. You'll need to be aware that your kit will be exposed to the elements overnight and you must take all items with you when leaving the Bike TA. If you plan to bike with bike shoes and want us to look after your running shoes you'll have to place your running shoes into your goody bag and leave it with the marshal as you leave the transition area, these will then be transported back to the finish area for you.
