| Do I need to wear a helmet?
Yes. No helmet no ride. We recommend you bring your own helmet but JustPedal can supply if necessary at no extra cost for those hiring bikes.
Do I need my ID?
Yes. It is mandatory for all riders to leave some form of photo ID with us whilst out riding. No ID no ride.
What should I wear?
Appropriate Clothing. Please check the weather and bring clothing suitable for the day and type of riding.
Do I need a water bottle?
Please bring your own water bottle to remain hydrated on the ride.
What pedals are on the hire bikes?
JustPedal can supply and fit bikes with flat pedals, Shimano SPD SL, SPD MTB or Look Keo pedals. If you require different pedals please bring these with you. We can fit your own pedals without a problem.
What sleeping overnight arrangements are there during the event?
All riders can use the either the Jackie Stewart Pavilion, the Supershell building or feel free to use your car if you plan on driving. We recommend bringing a ground mat/sleeping bag, as beds are not provided.
What are the toilet and shower facilities available?
There are toilets located around the paddocks and inside the Jackie Stewart Pavilion. There are no shower facilities.
Are there any drying/hanging possibilities in case of wet weather?
You are welcome to use the paddock shelters or Jackie Stewart Pavilion for drying clothes.
How is each individual riders distance tracked?
You have bike number boards that will go on the front of the bike to indicate the number and then seat post stickers that will wrap around the seat post and this is what has the timing chip on (this also has te number on it). These will be provided at registration.
Is the overall team distance a simple aggregate of each individual team-member’s distance?
Race timing solution system will calculate how many laps each person has done (and what team they are a part of), the cyclists have to cross the mats to start and then cross again after the route and that will calculate a lap. They will have a setting set up on our system that will be able to calculate the winning teams.
In the event that I have just more than 12 people keen to participate, can we bring the additional 1 or 2 people on the day to cover for last-minute drop-outs/ injuries?
Yes of course, feel free to bring additional team members if they take part in the race. Although, this person will need to have contributed to the fundraising target / average per team.
Could you please confirm the extent of mechanical support available?
We will have two mechanics for the full 24 hours with spare tyres available to buy if need be.
Is the circuit floodlit at night? Will we need to have lights on our bicycles?
Yes, the track will be floodlit at night. We encourage you to bring lights for your bikes as well.
Are there places to charge electronic devices?
There are sockets throughout the paddocks and Jackie Stewart Pavilion for charging.
Is there any restriction to the type of bicycle permitted?
No restriction on bikes permitted. E-bikes are not permitted – that would be cheating!
Is hot food available throughout the 24-hour period? Do the “team HQs” have facilities for tea/coffee making + fridge or are we dependent on on-site catering?
Yes, hot food option will be provided throughout from the Jackie Stewart pavilion as well as tea and coffee cart, which will be available – we will share timings of food shortly.
Do you have any recommendations for nearby accommodation for any participants wishing to get to the Goodwood area the night before (evening of 15th July)?
There are a few local hotels nearby: Chichester Park Hotel / The Goodwood Hotel / Travelodge Chichester Central.
Are there any on-site camping facilities for either the night of 15th prior to the event or the night of the 16th during the event?
Camping on the Goodwood motor circuit site is not permitted. If you are looking to arrive the evening before – we suggest booking a hotel room out of the options above. Note back to point 1 for during the event.
How far is the car park from the team base (Jacket Stewart Pavilion)?
The car park is amongst the paddock shelters so you will be parked adjacent to the team base.
Will there be medical assistance on site?
Yes, medical assistance will be available throughout the 24 hours.
Will I be required to sign a waiver form?
Yes, the waiver form is attached in your confirmation email and on the event hub. Please fill this in and hand in at registration.
Will you require contact details in case of an emergency?
