With just 54 days to go until the start of the Landscape.im LDLR and the inclusion of the new E-bike category we wanted to highlight some new and existing rules.
- A rider can only enter one category in the event, Solo, Solo-Singlespeed, Pairs or Quads. For example, a rider entering the Solo-Singlespeed category is not eligible for the Solo category.
- Foul or dangerous riding will not be tolerated, unsportsmanlike behaviour is totally unacceptable this includes the use of profane or abusive language to fellow riders, this rule is taken very seriously and anyone who violates this rule shall be disqualified from this and any future events.
- Riders are not permitted to draft from or be drafted by a rider of the same or opposite sex. Riders cannot be paced by spectators or helpers, even if that person is not on the course. For example, if the course parallels a road, your helper cannot ride on the road and pace you during the event. Riders who break the drafting or pacing rules will receive a warning from race officials. The Senior official on-site can apply a penalty of one lap removed from their event tally for each subsequent warning they receive during the event. A rider cannot enter the event with the purpose of helping another rider. For example, if a rider rode 3 laps then took a 10 hour rest, then resumed the event but was ruled to be drafting, pacing or assisting a rider who had been riding continuously, then both riders would be disqualified.
- Shortcutting the course can be grounds for automatic disqualification of the solo rider or the entire team. If a rider makes a mistake and they report to officials before it is discovered, a time adjustment will be applied rather than a DQ.
- Riders may accept food and water from anyone on the course.
- Ignorance of any rule will not be accepted as an excuse.
We want all our riders to have a safe and enjoyable event, and your safety is paramount; and we will not tolerate any rider infringing on any of the rules.
