The Rider List, with start times, for the East Sussex CA hill climb on Saturday is now up on the CTT web site. We have a field of 60 riders with first off at 10:01.

A reminder that front and back lights are required, plus helmet. Consent forms are needed for the under-18s.

The Firle Bacon HQ is the public car park, charges apply, at the top of the climb. The Flowbird App can be used to pay the quite reasonable fees for Beacon Car Park (10207), but coins are also accepted. Please use facilities on the way to the event, bring a flask of coffee and binoculars for the spectacular views, fingers crossed for good weather but spectators and finishers will probably be needing warm clothes.

ResultSheet will used to makes times available to all, there will be no result board. The mobile signal has been good for past events with times available on smart phones, possibly even before riders sign out and return their number. A QR code and link to ResultSheet will be provided but it is easy to go to home page https://resultsheet.co.uk/ select Events then "club filter" on East Sussex CA.

Cash prizes will be handed out straight after the event in the HQ car park. Anyone not staying on to claim a prize, will need to contact and speak with Chris Parker otherwise unclaimed prizes and those handed back will be going to the Kent Surrey Sussex Air Ambulance charity.

A lot of riders are doubling up riding the East Sussex CA hill climb on Firle Beacon in the morning and Beachy Head hill climb in the afternoon. Many who do the double stop off at Middle Farm tea rooms on the main road over to Eastbourne. There is an excellent cycle path along the main road for those that are car free.

The afternoon HQ is the The Wheatsheaf Inn, Willingdon, very close to Butts Lane. I expect the bunting will be out on the climb again and the PA system set up to keep spectators posted on what is happening.
