Description

Welcome to the Velo Club Walcot Hill Climb 2017.

Please take note of the following:

The course starts at the bottom of Claverton Hill, Claverton, Bath and runs uphill mostly under the cover of trees up towards The American Museum, finishing between the stone pillars before the museum entrance.

EVENT HQ.

HQ for sign on and prize presentation etc. will be located on the balcony overlooking the athletics track at the Bath University Sports Village (BA2 7AY). We recommend you use the East Car Park from where there is easy, signed access via the pedestrian walkway to our HQ which we will locate as close as we can to the cafe and toilets. No cleated shoes inside the the Sports Village building please.

Car parking is free on Sundays in the designated areas. We request you do not park along The Avenue, spaces are limited and used by the public.

There is no parking along Claverton Hill (the course), nor in Claverton village (at the bottom of the course).

Both the Bath & Cats Home and main American Museum car parks are for use by their visiting customers, do not use these for car parking for the hill climb.

SIGN ON FROM 12:30 - FIRST RIDER STARTS AT 14.01

All competitors are to ride to the start.

Take care when exiting and entering and exiting the HQ area and proceed SLOWLY AND WITH CAUTION out of the main campus along Norwood Avenue taking a left when reaching the Avenue which leads to Claverton Hill, keeping to the left hand side of the road. The road is not closed and we do attract enthusiastic spectators!

As you approach the bottom of Claverton Hill take the left hand turn into the holding area and line up, single file in number order, where you will be directed by the marshals to the start line.

The A36 Warminster Road at the bottom of Claverton Hill MUST NOT be used, either for event warm up or cool down exercise, nor as a route from the sign on to the start line.

Riders and spectators are reminded that THE ROAD IS NOT CLOSED and CTT Rule 20 Observance of the Law must be adhered to at all times.

Both The American Museum and Bath Cats & Dogs Home are open to the public before, during and after our event.

It is especially important to keep the entrance to The American Museum clear. DO NOT use this area to congregate. Please work with our marshals and any museum representative who will direct people down the hill, away from the museum entrance and assist riders who need to catch their breath after finishing and keep the area clear.

In the interest of your own safety, Cycling Tine Trails and the event organisers strongly advise that all riders wear a cycle helmet that meets internationally accepted safety standards.

CTT Rule 15 shall be applied: All competitors under the age of 18 years and all Juniors must wear a properly affixed cycle helmet. Helmets should conform to a recognised standard such as SNELL B95, ANSI Z90.4, AUS/NZS 2063:96, DIN 33-954, CPSC or EN 1078.

It is the responsibility of the rider (or parent or guardian if the rider is under 18 years of age) to:

(a) Select a helmet that offers protection against head injury and does not restrict the rider's vision or hearing.

(b) Ensure that the helmet is properly fitted, is undamaged and in good condition.
