Safety vehicle requirements for club event

    Our club is doing a Mizen-Malin run later this year. I'm trying to establish if there is a specific requirement for safety vehicles for such an event, depending on participant numbers? For instance, if there are say 30 members, are we required to have a vehicle in front and behind, with flashing lights? Or just behind? Or indeed is there any requirement at all? I've searched online and cannot find anything. Any CI guidance seems to refer only to sanctioned events such as sportives and races, rather than club-confined piss-ups events.

    No requirement however it would be advisable for carrying gear spares and just being available at any given time for unforeseen circumstances.
    We did it a couple of years ago and had a support van and we found it very useful. Makes for a much more enjoyable cycle knowing we were never going to be stuck anywhere along route

    Thanks 07L.
    However, is that not for events like sportives etc. which are listed in the CI event calendar? As opposed to smaller events confined to club members?
