3.) What happens if it rains?
Spyder Ryder has 100% waterproof gear available. The great thing about the Gold Coast is it has a yearly average of 300 sunny days. The weather on the Gold Coast can also change very quickly and from the South to the North, so there is almost always somewhere you can go to get away from the rain, if it occurs. If we deem that it is unsafe to ride then your booking will be rescheduled. Unfortunately your booking can not be cancelled or rescheduled if you decide not to ride.
