Assemble your bike in the dedicated bike build area provided by Scicon.
Once your bike is assembled, you will have to pass a bike check. The bike’s brakes,
wheels, general condition and your helmet will be checked by the organisation. You
can then drop your bike in the secure bike park.
To collect your bib and Haute Route pack, you will need one form of ID.
Once you’ve collected your pack, attach your bike plate on to your handlebars. It is
forbidden to alter, cut or fold your bike plate.
Bring your bike box to the trucks where it will be stored during the event. The
luggage you brought with you on your arrival (we recommend a soft bag) has to fit

any other bag or wheels during stages.

bike at the secure bike park to attend the briefing.
