Competitor’s Notes
Refreshments:
Tea, coffee and cake will be available at the HQ - we will be donating all the money raised from the refreshments to the Leeds Children's Heart Surgery Fund in memory of Heart Consultant and Ilkley dad, George Ballard who died in an accident at Dibbles Bridge whilst cycling last summer.
We are hoping to be able to have the Tour De Yorkshire Stage on screen at the HQ The Course : Please take care at the start, this used to be a layby, but now is the entrance to a Country Store and some business units - there may be traffic coming in and out of here. No cars are to be parked at the start or finish - timekeepers only When you finish, please don’t stop and disturb the timekeeper, carry straight on to the HQ.
Position of Number:
Please pin to rear as low down your back as possible.
This is to maximise rider’s visibility for following traffic and to enable the timekeepers to see it clearly.
U-Turns:
U turns are not allowed in the road, if it is necessary to turn around find somewhere safe to do it.
This is a CTT rule due to previous serious accidents and is enforceable by disqualification.
Ride Safely:
All riders are responsible for their own safety. Marshals are there to show the direction and to give the event visibility.
They do not have the power to stop vehicles. Look ahead and don’t ride with your head down.
When blasting along in a time trial it is easy to let your head drop and look down at the road.
This is dangerous and can lead to serious accidents.
Riders must not take pace or shelter from any other vehicle or rider.
