QECP 2024 Riders Briefing
Orbea Southern Enduro Series Rd1 – 7th April 2024 – Headdown woodland, Buriton, Petersfield GU31 5SN
This is your online riders briefing
- The area where the race village is situated has patchy phone reception, please bring cash for the food, coffee, merchandise etc…
- Its important that you start from the race village and be set off at your start time by the race village start marshal, not at your cars or the top of the hill this is extremely important so we know who is on the course. If this keeps happening we will have to start adding time penalties.
Some Race rules reminders:
No re-runs for mechanicals or crashes.
No derestricted E-bikes
No assisting other riders to the top of the hills with E-bikes
All riders must start in their categories and at the race village not their cars or the top of the hill.

Sign-on:
There will be a one-way system for sign on with a verbal sign on process.
Give your name & category and you will be handed your number board. If you can remember you number in the start list this will speed up sign-on.

That is sign on complete.
