Event Regulations
This is a fun ride, not a race.

As the Durham Big Rides and the Beast are British Cycling approved events it is a condition of their insurance that all participants MUST wear a safety-approved cycling helmet. You can NOT participate using someone else's ride number - contact DBR on 03000 267099 if you need to have your ride number transferred. This year the reverse of your ride number will need to be completed with ‘in case of emergency’ details before the ride.

Participants take part entirely at their own risk. Durham Big Ride Limited, Durham County Council and Durham Markets Company Limited accept no liability for any injury or damage caused during the event as a result of an individual’s actions or those of a third party.

To enter, either submit your application online or complete this Entry Form and return with your cheque to Durham Big Ride c/o Management Office, Indoor Market, Market Place, Durham DH1 3NJ.

Cheques should be made payable to Durham Big Ride and the riders entered noted on the reverse of the cheque.
Durham Big Ride is a not-for-profit company - any surplus made is invested back into projects promoting the benefits of cycling.
