This course is set in beautiful countryside however, it is challenging to even the most experienced riders with high speed descents, some poor road surfaces and early season weather conditions.
Riders should obey the highway code at all times and in particular not cut corners or takes risks with control of their bike on steep/long descents and into corners.
In addition to their personal safety riders also have a responsibility to the sport to ride in both a fair and safe manner.

You are advised that:
- No U-Turns are to be made in the vicinity of the timekeeper and no dismounting in the finishing area.
- Take extra care at road junctions and particularly at the t-junction for Scots Gap and the right turn for Rothley Cross Roads.

- Head up and watch out for potholes and oncoming traffic.
- TAKE GREAT CARE ON THE DESCENT AND CLIMB OF MIDDLETON BANK BECAUSE OF THE BAD ROAD SURFACE

Additional Information for Novice Riders (First Open Event)
The CTT community in the North East is very strong and the Barnesbury is a proud member of that community. One that encourages, rewards and celebrates everyone’s efforts and achievements.
The conduct of this event is governed by CTT Rules & Regulations. As such you should read the instructions carefully and if in any doubt about their meaning contact the organiser to check your understanding.
A few tips for the day:
You must wear either your club strip or a plain kit. For example you cannot ride in purchased Professional Teams kit or a triathlon style suit [without sleeves] and if you were to wear one of these you may be disqualified at the start which would be very disappointing. You can of course wear a top to stay warm all the time up to the start and then leave it there. It will be made available for collection when you’ve finished from the start (second hour finishers) or at the HQ after the race.
You cannot wear a gillet or other clothing over your kit during the race if it obscures your race number which must visible at all times. If it’s not visible when you cross the line you risk disqualification after the race. If you are cold, wear more kit and pin the number on the top layer bearing in mind the above guidance on kit.
It’s advisable to travel in time to sign in at least an hour before your start including any time necessary for driving around the course beforehand if you’ve not ridden it previously. This will give you plenty of time to suit up, warm up and ride up to the course start from wherever you’ve parked. The HQ to start distance is about 3.6 miles. Please do not warm up in the vicinity of the starters once the race has started – they’ve a lot to do and additional riders with numbers on is very distracting.
Arrive at the start a little early as the timekeepers use ‘race time’ which may be a little different to your own watch. You should be able to see which numbers are queuing to start and judge your own timing from there. If you arrive late [after your start time] you will suffer a penalty time addition and may not be allowed to start until there is a gap in the order – in the meantime getting cold.
Do not distract the starter about anything really – they’re trying to start 119 riders on time and record each riders time accurately at the finish which is a significant feat of concentration. PS Shouting your number out as you finish is considered helpful by the officials J.
If it’s your first race; don’t be too distracted by serious looking performance cyclists on turbo’s etc. with ear pieces in, spinning up to loud music with cotton wool up their noses etc. Unbelievably, this is perfectly normal warm-up and getting in the zone behaviour [really..]. It’s all part the ritual and it’s very likely you’ll be doing this too soon.
Enjoy the post-race food and hospitality at the HQ where the aforementioned ‘serious performance cyclists’ will be transformed into relaxed cycling ‘dudes and lasses’ potential friends, coaches and mentors who will happily advise you on what wheels and gearing you really should have used, the racing plan you should have used, the warm up you should do and many other preparation, training and diet tips etc to generally make you feel that their level of performance might be achievable with YEARS of hard work and dedication, uber expensive kit, bike and a power meter etc … However it might feel, they are genuinely being helpful, not just trying to get an early mental edge on a new challenger…
In all seriousness, please enjoy your first experience of an open event and if you haven’t ridden one for a while welcome back. Please don’t hesitate to speak to any of the organisers, officials or club members there on the day with whatever concern or query you may have.
We’re here to help you enjoy the day and achieve your best performance. On behalf of the Barnesbury and NDCA thank you for entering and ride safely.
Best Regards,
Ian Bryan
