Notes to all riders
Please observe the Highway Code. Ride with your head up and do not white line. It is also advisable to wear bright clothing.
In the interests of your own safety Cycling Time Trials and the event promoters strongly advise riders to wear a HARD SHELL HELMET that meets an approved international safety standard. Local regulation 1 - All riders on completion of their competitive ride must find a safe place to stop and turn on the return to the race HQ, and be aware of fast moving, oncoming competitors when turning into Coronation Hall.
Please remember that Event Officials have no legal right to interfere with or regulate traffic.
Please do not approach finishing time keepers whilst the event is in progress.
Please call out your number loud and clear on the finish line.
Riders waiting to start must do so 20 metres before the timekeeper and stand well to the left and in single file
Paced and Company Riding – Time Trialling for Beginners states that “When a competitor gets caught by another one the Regulations require the overtaken rider to fall back to a distance behind the other one … At least 50 yards is required
Competitor’s Machines –– It is recommended that a working rear light, either flashing or constant, is fitted to the machine in a position clearly visible to following road users and is active whilst the machine is in use.
It is possible for mist to cover the course especially on Blackdown and at Sourton Cross.
NO VEHICLES other than official time keepers/marshals cars to park in either the starting layby or the Trout n’ Tipple car park at the finish line, thank you.
Thank you all for your support and we hope you have a safe and successful ride.
