We no longer supply event bags as part of our sustainability policy. Please use a small bag to put any items or clothing that you would like at the end of your ride. Please do not place anything of value in your drop bag. You will receive a drop bag sticker with your bib/mountain bike plate and this will need to be securely fastened around the straps of your bag.
Drop bag collection will be available from approximately 11am in the Great Lake Centre, please bring your bib/mountain bike plate with you to claim your bag. Any bags left after the event will be held for a month after the event, after this time any items will be donated to charity.
If you have left your drop bag behind please email us with your bib number so that we can organise getting this back to you.
