Riders Information

Event Rules:

The Dwellingup 100 is sanctioned by the MTBA. The event will be conducted under their rules, regulations and code of conduct.

To view the MTBA code of conduct please Click Here.

In addition to the MTBA regulations, the Dwellingup 100 MTB Classic in 2011 will be enforcing the 'Leave No Trace' Policy to all riders. Any participant seen littering on course will be disqualified.

Event Organisers put a lot of effort into making sure the course track is in top condition for participants on event day and similarly once participants have finished ensure that it is in the same condition before we leave. Please do not make extra work for these sweep vehicles by making them collect your rubbish - any objects (wrappers, bottles or containers) that you take on the ride with you at the beginning, should be with you when you finish.

Cut-Off Times:

The Dwellingup 100 will have the following cut-off times for the 100km.

Point 1: 40km point (also the start point) 3hrs and 45minutes / 12:15pm
Riders who reach this point after this time will not be able to continue the course.

Point 2: 64km point (end of Turner Hill loop) 6hrs / 2:30pm.
Riders who have not finished the Turner Hill loop at this time will be required to make their way back to Dwellingup along the road.

The Dwellingup 40 or D14 events do not have cut off times.

Aid Stations:

There will be no on-course aid stations for either the D14 or the Dwellingup 40 event - riders must carry sufficient supplies to get them through to the finish or for 100km participants to the 40km mark of the event (back to Dwellingup Oval).

There will be two aid stations for the Dwellingup 100 Classic. The first will be stationed at the 40km point (also the start/finish point) and at the second at Turner Hill - you will pass this aid station twice at approximately the 60km point and the 75km point. Aid stations will have water, Shotz Tablets, cookies and lollies for you to refill your supplies.

Please Note:

At the first Aid Station of the 100km Dwellingup Classic (located at the 40km mark – Start/Finish area), participants will have the opportunity to leave at this station any special supplies they require.

Participants are required to put their supplies (i.e. extra water bottles, lunch supplies, extra energy gels/bars etc.) in a closed bag, with you name clearly marked on it. As participants pass through this aid station they will be able to stop, locate/pick up their bag and continue on with the ride.

Please note; this will not be a timed stopped. If participants wish to stop, they may do so, however are still required to reach the next cut off point by the allocated time.

Participants may have a family member or friend to assist them at the special needs station. This person must only help with refilling water bottles and replenishing food supplies. Under no circumstances are they to assist with mechanical issues.
