REMINDERS FROM POLICE


This event is not a designated time trial or road race and subsequently all riders are bound by Queensland Road Rules. Participants
are reminded that when riding 2 abreast the distance between the two bikes should not be greater than 1.5 meters. Police urge
riders to adopt a single file approach where possible and give due consideration to other road users to avoid incidents.
There are no road closures or exemption permits associated with this event and give way rules must be observed at all
intersections and roundabouts.

Although the behaviour of the majority of riders in 2014 was exceptional police did intercept and caution 8 x riders for various
contraventions of the road rules. As a consequence additional police will be deployed along the route in 2015 with the specific task
of intercepting and issuing infringement notices to both participating riders and drivers of motor vehicles who are detected
breaching any provisions of the Queensland Road Rules.

If you have any queries regarding the responsibilities of riders please do not hesitate to contact organisers who, if it is required, will
put you in contact with the local police liaison.
