TEAM ENTRY FORM

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Please refer to the Terms and Conditions before completing this form. 

Team Entry Forms must be received at Hartley Lifecare by 29 June 2022. 

The entry fee for each bunch is $12,500. 

Thank you sincerely for your interest in participating in the Hartley Cycle Challenge.  Please note that the Hartley Cycle Challenge is NOT a race, it is a participation ride. Each Bunch is only as fast as their slowest rider. 

This cycle challenge is now in its 22nd year. Please fill in the form and return as soon as you can. Priority will be given to Bunches whose entry forms are received at Hartley by close of business on 29 June 2022. The receipt of an entry form at Hartley does not guarantee that a Bunch will be able to participate. 

The entry fee for each Bunch is $12,500. If a Team has more than one Bunch accepted to enter this year’s Challenge, each Bunch will pay an entry fee of $12,500. Each Bunch and all participants are encouraged to fundraise as much as they can, to support Hartley to provide vital services for people living with physical and complex disabilities in our local community. www.hartley.org.au  

Each cyclist is required to register on the website and establish a personalised fundraising page (within your team’s page) on the Hartley Cycle Challenge website to be able to participate in the event – link will be sent to each team. 

The entry fee covers food and accommodation across the event for the riders and the support crew only. A Bunch comprises of: 

  • A maximum 12 riders. 
  • 2 dedicated support crew (drivers) for the follow vehicle. 
  • Each Bunch must provide 1 support vehicle, this is the follow vehicle and associated fuel costs for this vehicle per Bunch. It is compulsory to have two dedicated support crew in the vehicle at all times across the entire 3 days. Hartley can assist with organising hire of the follow vehicle through Hertz if required. Each Bunch is encouraged to provide and tow a trailer that has the capacity to hold all of their bikes. 
  • The riders/drivers agree to assist the Bunch Captain to meet all deadlines for entry fees and other associated information required by the Hartley Event Manager during the lead up to the event. 
  • The Event is subject to directions by the Ride Coordinators and by the Police.
  • Participants must obey the road rules and any Police or Ride Coordinators’ or Marshalls’ direction given in the interest of safety. 
  • It is paramount to everyone’s safety, that Bunch members have trained with their Bunch in the lead up to the event to ensure each rider has a full understanding of team dynamics and pre-determined hand signals you will be using whilst on the road. 
  • Cyclists must wear an approved safety helmet and appropriate cycling attire at all times. 
  • All support crew members must agree to attend compulsory training and watch the driver briefing presentation. The Event Manager will coordinate this through the Bunch Captains. 
  • Each cyclist MUST establish a fund raising page on the Hartley website to be able to participate in the event. 
  • All riders must have personal cycling insurance/membership.  PLEASE NOTE insurance cannot be purchased through Hartley.
  • Each rider must ensure this is completed by 31 October 2022 otherwise they will not be able to participate in the event. 

By hitting submitt, I/we agree to manage my/our Team to meet the Hartley Cycle Challenge terms and conditions to the best of our ability, as outlined on this page.
