Description

Event HQ: Frank Wickham Hall in Etwall, open from 1300. In the centre of the village turn into Willington Road (next to the Spread Eagle PH), then immediately right into Portland Street. Continue up the hall drive, over speed bumps. There is limited parking at the HQ but parking is available in the bus park at John Port School (opposite the Spread Eagle) which will be signposted. This is a short walk from the HQ. Please do not park on the driveway to the hall or on Portland Street and drive with care on this residential street. Numbers: Will be at the Event HQ and will be issued when you sign on. At the start: Please avoid disturbing residents in the vicinity of the start, do not obstruct the road. No helpers' cars in the area. Do not warm up on the Etwall by-pass once the event has started. Approaching the turn: Riders should not change lanes before the 100 yards to roundabout marker and should signal clearly. Catering: Please exchange your number for a drink at the Event HQ. Rolls and cake will be on sale by way of donations. Please be generous – how about half of what you pay in a cyclists’ café? In the interests of your own safety, Cycling Time Trials and the Event Promoters strongly advise that you wear a hard shell helmet that meets an internationally accepted safety standard. Rear lights are compulsory in the men’s event; preferably these should be big LEDs set to a constant flash and adjusted so that the focus is trained on the driver’s head position of any catching vehicle. We strongly advise their use in the women’s event. Please take care and be watchful when passing entry and exit lanes on the A50.
