Please see below, an announcement on the National 24 hour.
Mersey Roads 24 2020
It is with a heavy heart that we share this announcement. We have decided, with the support of CTT, that this year’s 24 will not go ahead. This event takes a great deal of preparation both on our part and that of the riders and we feel with the level of uncertainty around COVID-19 restrictions it is just not feasible or sensible to go ahead. We apologise profusely to anybody who was still hoping to ride this year and we hope that you understand our decision, it wasn’t taken lightly.
We are very disappointed to have to do this after such a record-breaking event last year. It takes a huge number of volunteers to keep this event going and we wanted to give them all clarity on our plans as soon as possible. We will contact our volunteers individually to notify them of our decision and we hope you will all continue to support us when we are back in 2021, hopefully even bigger and better than ever.
If current restrictions are not extended then the National/WCTTA/LTTA/MDTTA/MLCA 12 Hour which our family organise will go ahead as planned on 23rd August. This 12 hour is on the same course as the 24 hour and highly recommended as preparation for the Mersey Roads 24 Hour 2021.
Stay safe and see you all soon

CTT Chairman Sheila Hardy, adds that she and CTT fully understand and respect this decision, knowing the workload that goes into this iconic event and would like to pass on her best wishes and that we look forward to the event in 2021.
