We originally set our Polocini Standard as a simple list of what we provide at our events. Over time as we have organised more events and tours, the standard has now become a by-word for the Polocini experience.

At Polocini we aim to provide much more than a sportive but a real event experience for all riders regardless of age or ability. Our rides are about having a great day out with other like minded cyclists.

We provide the following at every event as part of your entry fee (and sometimes more!):-

• All Polocini events have a single price regardless of the route length. Riders can change routes at any time. Even on the road
• All food and drink is included in the entry fee. Check out our Food page.
• A full nutrition package from TORQ to make sure you are correctly fuelled at all times
• All events are run in conjunction with British Cycling Guidelines. See Event Rules page
• All riders are insured through the British Cycling Insurance Scheme
• Entry numbers will be capped at each event to ensure facilities are not oversubscribed
• Free entry for all Under 16’s with a paying adult (subject to completion of a British Cycling Parental Consent Form). See Event Rules page
• Several extra special prize draws. There will be no pointless ‘goody bags’
• Professional photography on the routes by www.cyclesportphotos.com

Any photos or videos taken at the events by our in-house photographer will be available free on our photostream**

On the Road

• Our routes are designed to flow from start to finish. There are no unnecessary roads to make a route a set distance.
• A Motorcycle outrider rides out ahead of the event to make sure there are no missing signs or road hazards
• Instead of chip timing we use the STRAVA system. Check out our Timing page for details.
• Clear and concise signage (with a few extra special Polocini signs!)
• Back up route maps/cards in case you take a wrong turn
• Well stocked feed stations located in conjunction with CNP Nutrition to ensure riders are properly fuelled at all times
