Medical Form

• download a medical form (PDF)

Please Note: The Medical Form must be completed and carried with you during the Cycle. If you have a medical condition that would need consideration should you be taken ill during the Cycle, please write the details on the Medical Form. If you feel unwell before the Cycle, or have not been well for a few days prior to the event, please do not start; there is always another year and another London to Bournemouth Cycle.

Rescue service and mechanic

Following the last cyclists will be a 'rescue' vehicle for you and your bike should you require it, and a bike mechanic. The mechanic will have some spare inner tubes and basic tools, however they will not necessarily be equipped to deal with all cycle breakdowns. There were loads of punctures in our last ride, so make sure you have a cycle repair kit, spare tubes and pump in case you get one!   We will have a track pump at each feed station.
(see Recommended Kit List).
