Please register at least 15 minutes before start of event

Before starting your ride, you must register on the day at the Registration Office, Army Training Camp, Halton. But please arrive early and allow enough time to register and prepare for your ride. Riders start individually and all riders must wear a helmet and obey the rules of the road (see our full terms conditions on our website and on the booking form).

Again we are using the SPORTident electronic timing system (www.sportident.co.uk) and at registration you are given a rider number card to attach to your bike and a timing ‘dibber’ will be either be attached to your wrist or hung from a lanyard you wear (they’re small and robust - you can shower/bath/sleep without damaging it). When you finish, these timing (Si-cards) must be handed back at the Registration office where they can be exchanged for a complimentary food voucher.

See Halton Army Camp section of this website for more information.

Food will be provided on the day at the Halton Army camp. Riders will be given free food tokens at the end of the ride in exchange for their timing Si-cards. These food tokens can be exchanged for hot food supplied by More? The Aritisan Bakery and outside caterer (www.moreartisan.co.uk). Each rider will be provided with a choice of either pasta or a vegetarian alternative. Tea and coffee will be provided by The Rotary Club of Lancaster and the Innerwheel.

Additional food and drinks can be purchased throughout the day by none riders and their supporters.

Apart from toilets at the start and finish at Halton, public toilets are available at public facilities in Arnside & Milnthorpe and in cafes in Silverdale en route. However, there are toilets and cafes at Silverdale and again on Arnside promende for the Silverdale Sling.

If you are into camping or caravanning then New Parkside Farm Caravan Park is within a couple of miles of the start/finish. Other places to look nearby are Halton, Caton, Hest Bank and Slyne and if you search the web you will find quite a few places to stay over.

Slightly further away, but still an easy drive to Lancaster is Morecambe (5 miles), and as you would expect, their TIC is closely linked to Lancaster’s website – www.visitmorecambe.co.uk.
