To take full advantage of postgame demand, make sure you are in an easy pick up position.
We will be advising all riders to stay away from zones with road closures.

PEAK PERIODS WILL BE:
4PM-7PM
9PM ONWARDS
(Keep in mind 7pm-9pm will be quieter due to the fireworks)

Please keep in mind a number of road and bridge closures on the night.
