Entry Details

Event entry fee is £4.00 for Seniors, £2 for Juniors and Juveniles and £6 for Tandems (payable at each event at sign-on desk).

If you have pre-registered a start time, you need to sign-on no later than 15 minutes prior to your allocated start time.

If you have not got a pre-registered start time (casual rider) then you will need to sign-on on the evening to have one of the available start times allocated. The signing-on desk opens at 5:45 and closes at 6:40. No casual riders can be admitted after the signing-on desk has closed.

Riders aged under 18 must submit a parental consent form, signed by their parent. This form can be downloaded from the CTT website.

Please position number as shown here, this is important so that the time keepers can see it.

We must keep the road outside of the Clubhouse clear - there will be an HQ marshal, please do not put the marshal in the position of having to ask you to stay out of the road.

A competitor overtaking another must pass without receiving or giving shelter. The onus of avoiding company riding shall be upon the rider overtaken. Cheats will be disqualified.

On crossing the finish line please call out you number to assist the timekeepers.

As riders cross the finish line their times will be displayed on the screen in the Clubroom; please do not disturb the timekeepers, mingle around them, or block their view - they will be busy recording other riders' times.  We will aim to have the results available on the results page soon after each event.
