4 How to get there The Eden Project, just outside St Austell, is well signposted from both the A30 from Exeter ad the A391/390 from Plymouth. If you re coming from outside Cornwall, take the M5 southbound to Exeter, where the motorway splits. Take the A30 and continue until you reach the Innis Downs junction (A391) from which Eden is well signposted. Please note that the MAP here directs westbound traffic from the A390 from St Blazey via Cornhill Road to the Eden Project. We do not recommend taking this narrow route.

7 Toilets There are adequate toilets at the Eden Project near the registration and start point and at the finish. Toilets are also available at the Feed Stations at The Lost Gardens of Heligan and the Jubilee Inn at Pelynt. Urinating in public is in violation of the law and the organisation strongly disapproves of this. Fitting your bike number Please ensure your rider number is fixed to the centre of your handlebars securely using the cable ties provided. Please do not attempt to wrap the rider number around your handlebars, seat post, or any other part of your cycle as your number needs to be clearly visible from the front for identification purposes. Your timing chip is attached to the reverse of the rider number, and positioning the rider number in the centre of your handlebars is also the optimum position for ensuring the chip is detected at the timing points Emergencies If you need assistance please use the following number We will make every effort to pick you up if you are unable to complete the event. However, we will prioritise according to individual requirements. If it is a medical emergency please call 999. If you decide to not complete the route please contact us so we know you are safe. After you finish your ride You will cross the timing mat before you descend into Eden. Crossing the timing mat will activate the transponder on your bike and this will be the point where your finish time will be recorded. After crossing the mat descend into Eden until you reach the finish. There will be bike racking near the Finish Area if you wish to leave your bike and look around the Eden Project but please be aware this will not be a secure area and bikes are left at the owner s risk. Please do not ride through the centre of the Eden Project to return to the car parks please push your bike carefully past the Visitor Centre. Each rider can claim their complimentary bottle of water and Cornish Pasty on completion. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT YOU MUST DESCEND INTO EDEN WITH EXTREME CAUTION, YOUR RIDE TIME WILL ALREADY HAVE BEEN RECORDED AT THE TOP BEFORE THE DESCENT Advice On Climbs We advise gearing og 34T x 27T or equivalent to help successfully tackle the steepest climbs on the route.
8 Descending This can be the most dangerous part of your ride. We strongly advise that you take extreme caution when descending and avoid gathering speed. Many descents will end up where you will need to negotiate a blind and sharp bend. You will also be descending into small coastal fishing villages. These are tourist attractions and there will be unsuspecting pedestrains crossing roads and probably not paying attention. Road Conditions Due to the nature of the event and the route options you will be riding on narrow lanes that are not heavily used by motor vehicle traffic. There is, on some lanes a build-up of debris in the middle of the road. Please be careful and avoid riding in this area. Litter Please do not drop any litter bins are provided at HQ and all feed-stations During your ride We are not able to provide any mechanical support. In the event of a serious mechanical breakdown we will male every effort to resucure you as soon as possible. You will either be taken back to the feed station at Heligan to await pick up or direct to the event HQ at Eden. Please ensure you have this number to contact us. If you decide not to complete the route please do let us know so we know you are safe. Helmets Please note we will require you to ride wearing an appropriate cycling helmet at all times. Motor Bike Marshals There will be motor bike marshals on the route during your ride. They will check road signage and liasise with marshals and provide rider support as required. First Aid First aid will be available at the HQ and on route should it b, however if you or another rider has a medical emergency please call 999. What to bring Whilst food and drinks will be available at all feed stations, it is your responsibility to provide your own specific nutrition supplies and mechancial spares and tools that you may require on route. We recommend that you bring a multi tool, two spare tubes, tyre levers and a working pump. You are strongly advised to bring a mobile phine and a small amount of cash in case of emergencies, enabling you to keep in touch with us during your ride.
9 We would advise that you print the route map page at the end of this manual and take this page with you on your ride. If you need an emergency pick up the distance markers listed on the route map will help to tell us where you are. Marshals Marshals are not allowed to stop or control traffic or advise riders if it is safe to proceed. As a result of this key points on the route will be managed by the Escort Motor Bike Riders. There will be marshals directing you to the car parking area on Sunday. Navigation All routes will be clearly marked with large black arrows on a yellow background. Caution signs will also be positioned on key parts of the ride to warn you of any hazards and to warn motorists that cyclists are passing or crossing busy areas. All route arrows are checked on the morning of the event but it is possible that route arrows may be tampered with during the event. It is therefore vital that you have a good understanding of the route. We would advise that you print the route map page at the end of this manual and take this page with you on your ride. If you need an emergency pick up the distance markers listed on the route map will help to tell us where you are. Feed Stations There are three feed stations in the Eden Classic. They will be well stocked with a variety of sweet and savoury food however if you wish to use energy gels your will need to provide your own. The long route riders will have three feed station stops, mid route two stops and short route one stop.
10 Rider Guidelines Please read the following guidelines to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable ride It s not a race It s important to remember that the Eden Classic is a non-competitive event. You are competing with the riders aroud you so be patient, considerate and rein in your competitive instincts. Obey the rules of the road The Eden Classic takes place on the open highway. Obey the Highway Code as you would on any ride. This especially applies to junctions, traffic lights and not crossing the central white line of the road. Respect other road users Be considerate and aware of other road users. A large bucnh of cyclists may be unfamiliar to many motorists/ This may cause them to drive unpredicatbly so maintain awareness, back off if necessary and always be ready to take evasive action. Road conditions On country lanes, be aware that they centre of the road can often be dirty and greasy with a buildup of debris and mud. You must be extremely cautious and avoid riding in the dirty central area. This is expecially dangerous when descending on this type of road. Don t obstruct the route It s great to ride with a group of friends but make sure you don t obstruct the route for other riders or road users. If you want to stop to re-group, only do so if you wait safelt and off the road, ideally at a feed station or in a suitable lay-by. Avoid riding more than two abreast and single out when necessary, e.g. on narrow roads to allow traffic to pass. Group riding Communicate The most important factor of successful group riding is communication. Pass any verbal signals through the group such as slowing and braking, or car up, meaning there is a car ahead to be aware of, car back, meaning there is a car behind and single out, meaning to adopt single file. Ride consistenctly and predictably Hold a straight line, don t weave and always overtake around the right hand side of the group. Don t grab your brakes and, if you stand out of the saddle, don t let your back wheel drop back. Don t overlap wheels In case the riders ahead need to brake, don t follow directly behind their rear wheel. Ride six inches either side, however it s essential that you don t overlap their rear wheel as any sudden movements by them wil likely to bring you both down. Don t ride in the gutter Don t ride in the gutter as you ll increase the liklighood of hitting obstractions such as drain covers, pot holes and picking up punctures. Where possible, ride 1m out from the curb.
11 Expect the group to change Groups will change, fragment and reform as the ride progresses. Expect larger groups on flat sections but, on longer climbs, they ll break up. Similarly, on descents, riders will tend to strong out to give more time to react to higher speeds. Riding two abreast If road conditions and traffic allows, riding two abreast is acceptable. However road conditions and road width constantly change and narrow lanes and blind bends represent a significant hazard. Only ride two abreast when it s safe to do so. Descending Riding near the Cornish coastline inevitably means lots of descending, often into coastal fishing villages. These descents are often steep and dangerous. You must control your speed do not let your bike gather too much momentum. Keep your distance from the rider in front so you can see all hazards ahead. Don t Litter There s no excuse for littering so, whether you re riding a Sportive or just out training, don t do it. Put your gel/bar wrappers and even banana skins in your pockets ready to ditch them at feed stations or the event HQ; don t just fling them by the roadside Make sure both you and your bike are prepared Make sure your bike is well maintained and that your brakes and gears especially are properly setup. Misfiring gears or poor brakes can make you a liability in a group. Carry suitable spares and clothing Tri-bars Using tri-bars in any group riding situation is dangerous and their use is prohibited in British Cycling registered Sportive events. If you re unable to remove them you may be withdrawn from the event Helmets Helmets are also mandatory on British Cycling registered Sportive events and you won t be able to take part without wearing one Be considerate of local residents Remember you re not racing and riding through towns and villages, especially in Cornwall where tourists will cross the street without looking represent a significant risk. Be alert at all times Know the route and be self-sufficient Your route wil be marked with direction arrows and electronic files available to download onto any GPS enabled devices from the Eden Classic website. But, you should also do your research prior to the event and be aware of the correct route or carry a ap with it marked on. Tampering with route markings is unfortunatly fairly common and don t just blindly follow riders in front, they might not know where they re going British Cycling Insurance Please be aware that only British Cycling members have personal insurance cover for this event.
