Every effort will be made to have marshals at points where there is a change of direction, however the onus is on the rider to know the course. There are refreshments at the HQ, please exchange your race number for a tea/coffee.

Important Notice

The finish of the course is in the slip road. All riders must pass within 2.5 metres of the white line de-marking the left edge of the carriageway of the slip road. Failure to do this will lead to a DNF If you impede a vehicle you risk disqualification

There must be no parking of motor vehicles on any part of the A41 apart from those of the officials. All parking must be in the HQ car park. Do NOT obstruct other road users or driveways outside the school.

You must sign on in advance of your start at the headquarters where you can pick up your number and receive any last minute instructions or warnings. Please return number with all pins after you have ridden. DO NOT fold numbers at all. DO NOT use sticky tape (or other sticking methods) to secure the numbers to your clothing.

Please keep your head up at all times. At roundabouts the traffic coming from the right has priority over you, so please give way. In particular the first one at the bottom of the off sliproad does not have good line of sight for traffic coming from the right so please take great care here. Be prepared to stop if need be.
