All riders must adhere to the road rules and event rules.  Any participant found to be breaching these rules (and therefore jeopardizing the safety of other riders as well as the longevity of the event) will risk having their details recorded and may not be permitted to participate in future First Tier Sports Productions events.  Whether you are challenging yourself on the long ride or prefer the shorter option, the SRAM Tour de Ranges provides some of the best riding Auckland has to offer.  It is important that riders stay alert throughout the duration of the ride and are aware of the environment around them, especially since most roads on the course are single lane.

It is essential that all cyclists follow all road rules as well as the direction of police and traffic management during the ride.

In addition, riders must NOT:

• Disobey traffic lights
• Ride more than two abreast on dual lane roads (If a vehicle needs to overtake on a single lane road cyclists are required to move into single file to permit the vehicle to pass safely on the left hand side of the road)
• Ride without a helmet
• Ride dangerously or negligently
• Use MP3 Players, iPod's, walkmans or mobile phones while riding
• Police will fine anyone not obeying the law.  Any offending participants will also be forbidden from participating in the SRAM Tour de Ranges in the future
• Riders must keep to the left hand side of the road at all times to allow faster cyclists and vehicles to pass
• All riders must remain behind the lead vehicle and in front of the Sag vehicles

• Drafting of vehicles or motorbikes is strictly forbidden
• 110KM ride - You must be 15 years of age or over on the day of the ride to participate
• 30KM ride - You must be 12 years of age or over on the day of the ride to participate
• You may NOT ride under someone elses name or number under any circumstances
• Entry fees are not refundable or transferable

• Adhere to speed limits and obey all traffic signals and signage and directions from Police, Traffic controllers, Event Staff and Marshals.
• Always ride in the same direction as traffic on the left-hand side of the road.
• Keep to the left hand side of the road at all times to allow faster cyclists and vehicles to pass.
• Listen to and obey directions of Police and course marshals/volunteers.
• Riders must use hand signals if turning left or right, or stopping.
• Riders should always look behind before pulling out to pass another rider.
• Entrants should only ride side-by-side where there is enough room left for vehicles and other cyclists to pass on the correct side of the road (i.e. dual lane roads)
• It is the rider's responsibility to follow the sign-posted route.
• Wear bright clothing that increases your visibility to other road users.
• Do not ride in the gutter.
• Always wear your helmet correctly when cycling

The above rules will be enforced by event staff, marshals, traffic controllers and Police.  Any cyclist found to be breaking the law will risk receiving a substantial fine from the Police.
