Parking
If the weather is kind to us there will be parking for most, if not all, cars on the day on the playing field at the start / finish. However if there is too much rain in the week or two leading up to the event we won’t be able to use the car park and you will have to park on the street in the village. Grindleford is over a mile long so there is ample legal parking on the roadside, but please park respectfully of residents, driveways and the highway code, and allow yourself enough time to get to and from your car with your bike/s.
Water / Cups / Bottles
Please bring your own cup / water bottle. Water will be provided at the start / finish, but we won’t be providing cups.
Refunds
We don’t offer refunds. Sorry.
