Notes to riders

●        It is approximately 2 miles from the HQ to the start – please allow enough time for this, and be aware that other riders may be racing on the course.

●        No warming up on the course once the event has started.

●        Numbers will be at the HQ and will be issued to riders after signing on.

●        Riders should refer to regulation 16 – which states that ‘the number should be centrally positioned below the waist so as to be clearly visible from the rear when in the normal riding position’.

●        Numbers may be exchanged for a drink on completion of the ride

●        Please remove racing shoes before entering the hall.

●        Please do not perform U turns in the start or finish area or use these areas as a public toilet as offenders risk disqualification.

●        In the interests of your own safety, Cycling Time Trials and the event promoters strongly advise you to wear a HARD SHELL HELMET that meets an internationally accepted safety standard.  Juniors and juveniles MUST wear such headgear.

●        Whilst competing riders must ensure they adhere to the Highway Regulations and CTT Rules and Regulations, disciplinary action may result from any breaches in these regulations. Riders must also ensure their helpers conform to the Regulation 22 relating to the use of vehicles during events.

●        It is recommended that a working rear light, either flashing or constant, is fitted to the machine in a position visible to following road users and is active while the machine is in use.

●        Rider feedback forms will be available in the HQ by the signing on desk, and can be used by riders and marshals to offer comments that could significantly improve safety.

●        Have a safe and enjoyable ride.

Note the first 8 numbers are for the trike event not online entry.
