The HQ is Little Downham Village Hall which is on the corner of School Lane and Main
Street. (Grid reference TL525842, postcode CB6 2ST). Here you will find the signing on sheet, numbers and refreshments. After the event you can exchange your number for a free drink.
There is a car park next to the hall and more parking down the lane beside the hall. If you park in Main Street please be considerate.
To return to the HQ continue to T junction and turn right.
Expect mud and gravel in places in the lanes. There is a stretch through Way Head (just before Coveney) which has potholes and bumps. The B1411 alongside the Hundred Foot Drain is bumpy. The use of very light tyres is not recommended.
Numbers: Please pin your number where it can easily been seen by the timekeepers and not half way up your back. Shouting your number as you pass the finish helps.
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 standard.
Cycling Time Trials strongly recommends that riders use a rear light, either flashing or constant, visible to following road users and active while the machine is in use.
