    • Some route choices will require crossing of fences or closed gates.  However in most instances obstacles are either of a short distance and can be circumnavigated, or are a single wire rope or metal bar under which a bike can be wheeled or dragged.   
    • Courses 5 and 6 have been designed so that there are no difficult fences on the optimal route.  E-bikes on Rec Medium should carefully consider route choices if the bike is too heavy to lift over a fence.
    • There are no obstacle crossings on Course 7. This has been specifivcally designed for competitors 10 and under.
    • M Open competitors will need to use a high capacity SI-card (ie.  SIAC (SI air), SI-6, SI-9, SI-10 or SI-11)
