Green Day-Glo markers (if used) and red and white striped chevron tape shall indicate a wrong way or a no-go area where confusion is likely. Multiple Day-Glo markers or warning signs will mark a dangerous or hazardous obstacle or area. The onus is on the rider to find the route. Should a rider realise he has taken a wrong turn, EXTREME CARE should be taken before turning around and backtracking to find the correct route, in order to avoid a collision with other riders. Livestock and game may be encountered along the route and you are requested to take care and give them the right of way at all times. In many places the route may be narrow and dust may be a problem. Competitors should therefore ensure that they afford another competitor who has caught up with him every opportunity to overtake in the interests of fairness and safety. Competitors to be overtaken must move over to allow other competitors to overtake safely. Competitors failing to adhere to the above may be reported to the Clerk of the Course who will take the necessary action. The residents in the area have afforded us the privilege of staging this event on their land. Riders are therefore requested to ride with respect for their land, animals, crops and homesteads.

There are NO road-crossings in this race. Route Check Points: There will be 2 x route check points on the course, with a warning marker 20 meters before the check point.
