Insurance

Please note: Bicycle Network, or an equivalent interstate body is the only body that provides some relevant insurance cover for the Chain Reaction event. Cycling Australia and Triathlon Australia membership insurance is limited to those bodies’ sanctioned events only. Chain Reaction is not an event sanctioned by either body.

Clothing

As a rider in Chain Reaction, you are provided with Chain Reaction branded training kit (jersey, vest, knicks and socks) as well as a Team jersey and vest for the event. Please provide accurate measurements and sizes below.

Please note: The fit is a "European race cut" sizing and therefore we recommend referring to the sizing chart below.

If you are a returning rider and do not require new training kit,
please indicate below which items you DO NOT require.

Principles

All participants must agree to the following principles

• A group of senior executives who recognise their responsibility to the greater community and believe that individuals working together make a real difference in the lives of sick children and the charities that support them.
• A desire to incorporate individual passion for cycling into an annual charity challenge.
• Participate in the spirit of camaraderie, teamwork and fun.

To achieve these principles and the objectives of Chain Reaction, all participants agree:

• To raise a minimum of A$5,000 to be donated to our chosen charities without compromising the ethos of the ride or beneficiary charities. Those riders who do not reach the minimum fundraising amount of $5,000 by the end of the ride may be required to make an additional donation of $1,000
• Leverage executive standing in the business community to help meet the fundraising objectives.
• Contribute where possible to the corporate sponsorship objectives.
• Promote and use the Chain Reaction brand responsibly and with the approval of the Organising Committee.
• Behave in an exemplary manner while representing Chain Reaction and our supported charities. As Ambassadors for these bodies, any form of discrimination, harassment, bullying, excessive use of alcohol or any form of drug use will not be tolerated or condoned.
• That it is not mandatory for each rider to complete the entire distance. Each rider should ride within his/her own ability.
• Chain Reaction will be completed as a group, not a race.
• Chain Reaction is and should remain a-political.
• For insurance purposes, all riders must be financial members of Bicycle Network (or equivalent organisation).
