Private Support Vehicles |
Let’s be blunt:
Bikes and cars are an uneasy mix. Private support vehicles are not permitted. We have spent a lot of time and energy selecting and checking our routes to ensure motor vehicle traffic is minimized. If a friend or family member wants to join the fun, then we will arrange for them to ride with our support vehicles. A “Ride Friend” price for accommodation, food and transport is available on request |

All participants – riders, organizers, support crew and ride friends will have to complete and sign an indemnity form to be allowed to participate in our SlowRiding Tours.
All participants must have their own Medical Aid Cover - and must supply proof of cover with their booking.

Please note that our Special Event Insurance does NOT cover you personally for loss, theft and damage and/or injury - as the case may be - to yourself or to any of your possessions, including your bike and your gear. It is advisable to ensure that you have your own personal All Risk Insurance Cover and Medical Aid Cover. |
