Event Information
NEXT CHEM SUPPORTED EVENT…
Wilson HTM Brisbane to the Gold Coast Cycle Challenge
Sunday 10 October
Key Information for chem Clients:
Transport
There are a couple of options, but we recommend to park or have someone drop you at South Bank pre-event and catch the pre-paid bus back from Southport post-event. Parking is available from 4am at the South Bank car park and the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre is open 24hrs a day (see websites for costs). The post-event bus is $25 pre-purchased online at time of entry.
Event Tee
You will receive your Event T-shirt at the finish line – both unisex and women’s sizing is available.
Nutrition
This is a big ride so don’t underestimate the energy that will be required! Make sure you stay on top of your energy levels by refueling before feeling tired or the start of muscles cramps. Jelly beans can offer a quick fix if levels start to drop, but sipping on both water and electrolyte (Gatorade or Powerade) throughout your ride will help to keep you hydrated.
Halfway Stop
For those riding in the 100km event, there will be 2 rest stops. It is highly recommended that you utilise these rest brakes to stretch out the legs, consume some fruit and water and use the facilities.
Mechanics
Check your bike in for a full service prior to the event to ensure it’s in ready to go. Areas of concern might be worn tyres, rusty chains, loose brakes and slipping gears. Don’t risk braking down halfway along the route – get these things looked at now!
Check List
Enjoy the event and happy cycling!!
