General Information
Event HQ: East Hoathly Sports Pavilion BN8 6QE – Open from 7.30am. Heading north on the A22, turn right at the Shaw Roundabout into London Road. The HQ is on the right, just before the village.
Car Parking: There is limited parking at the HQ, when full please park sensibly in the road – pavilion side only.
Race Numbers: Numbers will be available at the event HQ. Please collect your number when you sign on. After the event please return your race number to the HQ in exchange for a cup of tea or coffee.
Start: The start is less than a mile from the Sports Pavilion. Proceed out of the car park and turn right, and continue to South Street.
Important Notice: The Davina McCall charity ride is scheduled to have several hundred riders leaving (in groups of 20 or so) from the East Sussex National Golf Course feeding onto the A22 between 08:00 and 09:15. Therefore, on safety grounds, the decision has been taken to delay the start times by one hour. My apologies for the inconvenience.
Please note the following CTT regulations and recommendations
Helmets: CTT regulations require the compulsory use of helmets for the under 18s. In the interests of your own safety, Cycling Time Trials and the event promoters strongly advise all competitors to wear a hard/soft shell helmet that meets internationally accepted safety standards.
Competitors’ Machines: It is recommended that a working rear light, either flashing or constant, is fitted to the machine in a position clearly visible to following road users and is active while the machine is in use.
Competitors’ Vehicles: No vehicles, except those of timekeepers and event officials, shall be parked in the vicinity of the start or finish.
Safety Instructions: Details of any additional hazards not listed on the start sheet will be displayed at the signing on point. Competitors must exercise extra care when negotiating all roundabouts.
Warming Up: Competitors are requested not to warm up on the course after the event has started.
Results: No times will be given out at the finish line.
Race Numbers: The race number is made of fluorescent material which is an important safety feature. It is essential that it is placed correctly for maximum visibility to other road users and of course the timekeepers.
