WHAT IS 280 RALLY
Not simply a race.
A test of preparation.
280 Rally is a long-distance mountain-bike rally across mountain tracks, forest roads, villages and public roads.
Riders navigate, manage fatigue and equipment, and make safe decisions over many hours. Course details and support vary by host region and year.
BEFORE THE START
What should I prepare?
Work through these four areas before entering.
Bike and equipment
Inspect brakes, tires and drivetrain. Bring a helmet, lights, spare power and repair tools.
Route and supplies
Load the final GPX and plan water, food, checkpoints and time margins.
Contact and procedure
Save control contact details and understand withdrawal and recovery procedures.
Distances, cut-off times, start times and mandatory equipment change by event. The final event notice takes priority.
RIDE SAFELY
Completion never comes before safety.
Public roads and villages
Obey traffic rules, slow down at road access points and follow marshals or public-safety personnel.
Weather and health
Reassess visibility, road surface, temperature, fatigue and physical condition.
Accident or withdrawal
Move to a safe position and report your location and condition to emergency services and rally control.
Official route
Use the final GPX and follow checkpoints, detours and field instructions.
