PARACYCLIST NOTE: We welcome paracyclists entering the event. Please let the organisers know if you are a paracyclist, and we will ensure that the appropriate categories and other facilities are available for you. Please indicate the distance (24 km or 16 km) on the entry form, then please contact us and we will sort out category and other arrangements. As a guide, here are the Paracycling classifications and distances (set following advice received from Cycling NZ):
Paracyclist Tandem Classes (both Men and Women) will be 24 km.
Men (C3, C4 and C5) will be 24 km.
Men (C1 and C2) will be 16 km.
Women (C4 and C5) will be 24 km.
Women (C1, C2 and C3) will be 16 km.

EQUIPMENT NOTE: All equipment must meet meet the current UCI technical regulations.
All bikes will be checked before the event for compliance. Briefly, if your bike has a UCI compliance sticker and any clip-on aero attachments are removed, then the bike is likely to be compliant (depending on final inspection prior to event). More information on equipment is at https://www.uci.org/equipment/bh2JJzw1eB0n876rX2iB1
If your TT bike does not comply with the UCI technical regulations (a triathlon bike with clip-on aero bars is unlikely to be compliant), then you will still be allowed to ride and a time will be recorded for you, but you cannot receive a medal or Centre Championships classification. You will still need a current Cycling NZ licence to enter the event.
