(what 3 words ///mingles.crackling.benched) Having turned, they will then cycle to their turn point. 

Adults will cycle the entire length of the prom to Rossall Grange Lane, by the golf course.  (what 3 words ///headed.smarter.interrupt)  Adults will cycle to Rossall Grange Lane and then return to Balmoral Terrace completing 4 laps. Each lap is approximately 5Km Whilst the road is wide, care must be taken at the turn points and normal road rules apply.  On completing the fourth lap you will turn left into transition. There will be cones marking the entry point. On the first, second, third lap adults must stay on the outside of these.

On returning to transition you must dismount at the mount line and return your bike to its racking position. Do not remove your helmet until you have racked your bike.

Upon exiting transition, there is a slight incline leading from the car park to the promenade. Cyclists will mount their bikes at the bottom of this ramp. Once on The Esplanade, all cyclists must turn LEFT and perform a U-turn at the end of The Esplanade, at Balmoral Terrace. After completing the U-turn, they will then all cycle to the turning point at Agnew Road and then return to the road that enters the YMCA carpark to either go to transition or head out for another lap. See race booklet for each Tri start lap information.
