Course Overview

• Please be extremely cautious:

  • When navigating the roundabouts on course.  They are fast but still present a risk if taken at speed, please be cautious!  Always keep to the left and use the cycling slip lane if you can.

  • When passing and always check behind you for oncoming bikes that may be passing at speed.

  • when passing the race precinct opposite the transition and Dome cafe - this area has some speed bumps with public spectators and is a designated "no passing zone"!

  • When passing the mount zone out of T1 - this has been narrowed and is a designated "no passing zone" to enable athletes starting their bike leg to have sufficient room to do so!  Please be extra diligent at this point.

• Race day could present some wet weather.  If this is the case exercise extreme care on the bike course as if the roads have been dry for some weeks and will be slippery - do not underestimate this risk!!
