Safety • Riders must not use aero bars when circumnavigating the Coxbridge roundabout at the eastern end of the course. This is a district rule, and we will have no choice but to disqualify any riders who are caught doing this. • Always give priority to traffic from your right when negotiating roundabouts. • Signal clearly to other road users the course you intend to take. • Safety – not your performance – is the first priority at all times. • CTT regulations require competitors under 18 years of age to wear a helmet of hard/soft shell construction and recommends the use helmets by all other competitors. District regulations applicable to all events • LWDC 4 No vehicles, except those of the timekeepers, shall be parked at the start or finish • LWDC 5 All breaches of Local Regulations shall be reported in writing to the London West District Secretary. Getting to the start from HQ The HQ is located around a third of a mile from the start and is very easy to get to.

At the Chawton roundabout, turn left and the start layby is located 10m from the roundabout on the eastbound carriageway.
