If your bike breaks down, PLEASE DON'T venture off the track & make your own way back to the pits (even if you THINK you know the way back!). The venue is very vast and riders have been known to get lost.
Like-minded riders are known to stop and offer assistance, if not, stop a rider and ask to pass the message onto the next control point or marshal.
Wait where you are and a travelling marshal will be along shortly and can radio through to arrange collection of you and your bike. There is no cost involved, however feel free to buy the marshal a drink after the event.
If you cannot do another lap, simply park your bike in the pits and wait till the race has finished. You can then ride your bike to the finish line, and claim your finishing medal.
If you are still on track and can't finish the lap, simply ride to the next checkpoint (Only ride in the flow of the traffic NOT against it) and make the marshals aware you can no longer complete the race and your finish position will be collated, dependant on what lap and where you are on the track.
