Please allow sufficient time to ride to the start, as it is a couple of miles away.
Warnings:
Warming Up – Riders must not warm up past the start and finish areas.
No parking at the start or finish and vehicles must NOT be parked, however briefly, in any part of the access area to Mount Pleasant Nursing Home, opposite the finish.
Riders must not stop at the FINISH but continue along the A50 back to the HQ at Goostrey where times will be displayed.
Care at road junctions:
Riders must exercise caution at all junctions. Any competitor whose riding line causes her/him to cross the white line when approaching or leaving a junction will be liable to disqualification from the event and may be reported to the District Committee for further disciplinary action.
Any rider making a U turn in the vicinity of the start or finish will be disqualified. Observers will be used in this event.
Riders must take extra care when exiting from Seven Sisters Lane onto the A50
Be aware that there is a double bend shortly after turning into Twemlow Lane at Cranage.
Riders need to anticipate this and be prepared to negotiate it in a safe manner.
In wet weather the metal covers and edges become a skid risk. Please take care.
Chelford Island:
Riders must negotiate Chelford Island in a safe and sensible manner in accordance with CTT Reg.20 and the rules of the road. Riders must be able to brake and stop at the island if traffic conditions require this. Riders MUST NOT approach and encircle the island using tri-bars. Remember – traffic on the island has priority over traffic (including riders) entering it. Any rider seen to be in breach of this regulation will be disqualified from the event and may be reported for further disciplinary action.
