Numbers and Signing on:  Numbers will be at the HQ and can be collected when you sign on. Please note that you are now required to personally sign out after the event (you cannot ask someone else to do this for you). This is to ensure that all riders are available for the Drug Test Team if they attend the event. Failure to sign out will result in a DNF classification. You can exchange your number for a drink etc. after your ride.

Proceed south to turn left at traffic island (near Eden Hall) to pass over A46.Turn left onto slip road to A46 southbound and proceed to junction at Stragglethorpe roundabout.

SAFETY: 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 and have a working rear light (flashing or constant). Do not stop at the finish timekeeper but proceed for a short distance, make a U turn when safe to do so and return to the HQ where your time will be displayed. The A46 even on a Saturday is still a busy road, please take no chances and ride safely. Your welfare is paramount.
