Headquarters

East Hartford Community Centre, Scott Street, NE23 3AP. Riders will be able to sign on from 17:40
There is parking in the streets around the community centre, but we ask you to be respectful of the local residents as the community centre is situated on a residential street. We have had complaints in the past and we don’t want anymore!

Please be aware - we haven't been able to get exclusive access to the community centre this year, so there may be other activities running at the community centre during the race – please be considerate.

Signing on

Each rider must sign the sign-on sheet before collecting the designated number. Each rider must sign for themselves and nobody else. Once the course has been completed, please hand the numbers back in at the sign on and Sign Off or you will be disqualified. Any juniors, who have not completed a parental consent form, must do so before signing on.

Results

The results will be put on the board as they come in. Full results and any photos will be posted on this page after the event.

Refreshments

Refreshments will be available at the HQ after the event, although as we don't have exclusive access the to the CC they will be limited this year. Any monies not spent on catering will be used for prizes

Safety notes

Vehicles of competitors / officials / marshals / helpers to be parked safely and without hindrance to other road users.  All riders are responsible for their own safety.
To access the start, it will be necessary to cross and ride a short section of the course. We are asking all competitors heading to the start to be mindful of other competitors racing and neither impede nor assist them, whilst also being aware of other road users. We suggest that all riders heading to the start turn off at Crowhall Roundabout and ride through the industrial estate (Crowhall Road and Nelson Way – for those that ride the Club 10’s – this is the normal route you would use to access the start. See map in Photos Tab)

For those familiar with the Club 10s, using the normal sign on area to prep/warm up will take pressure off the HQ and give you an easier access to the start. See Photos tab on this page for a map.

Riders

Take extra care where traffic enters or leaves the course by way of slip roads and in the negotiation of roundabouts.  No U-turns to be made in the vicinity of the timekeeper.  No dismounting in the finishing area.   You must look ahead and not ride with your head down.  In the interests of your safety, we recommend that all competitors wear a hard shell helmet and use a working rear light.

To assist the timekeepers at the finish line can you please ensure that your number is correctly placed and visible from the rear in line with CTT regulations noted below. If your number is too high, the Time Keepers will not be able to see it.   “The number shall be centrally positioned below the waist so as to be clearly visible from the rear when in his normal riding position. Position number as shown:” - See image in Photos Tab 

Any additional safety information will be provided on the day at the sign on HQ.
