Please be aware that safety of riders, officials and other road users has become a critical issue and the police will be monitoring all cycling events held on public roads. Please take a minute to read the following:

• If you travel to the event by car please consider local residents when parking. Complaints could lead to us losing courses. Please don't park your car at the finish where the timekeepers or other support vehicles need to be.
• A rear-facing red LED light is highly recommended, whether flashing or constant.
• A hard shell helmet to an approved standard is recommended. This is compulsory for under-18 competitors.
• CTT rules require all competitors to sign-on before every event and to wear a number when competing. Failure to sign-on or display a number could put the club and yourself in a difficult position if an accident occurs.
• Be aware that other road users may misjudge the speed of a competitor in a time trial and due allowance should be made - allow for the worst.
• Don't have arguments with other road users, even if you feel they're in the wrong. It can reflect on the club, leading to possible complaints to the police. Remember we require the co-operation of the police to run time trials on public roads.
• As a rule keep as near to your left hand side as possible when competing. Many riders drift to the centre so that vehicles can't overtake and become very frustrated.
• Some courses incorporate U-turns or right turns at roundabouts. Make a clear hand signal and if the road is clear move to the right of the carriageway in good time.
• Take great care with ad hoc U-turns near to the start or finish - other traffic will not be expecting it.
• Please note the new club rule:
  In the interests of safety and fairness to all competitors, once an event has started no competitor or their representative will be allowed to approach the timekeeper. Competitors recorded times will be made available once the last competitor has finished the event.
  Provisional results will be made available after the event at a safe location.
• We have a club mobile phone which is switched on during events, so if you have a problem you can let us know. The number is: 07761 084 794
