1 - In the interests of your own safety Cycling Time Trials and the event promoters strongly advise riders to wear a HARD SHELL HELMET that meets an approved international safety standard.
In accordance with Regulation 15 ALL JUNIOR competitors must wear protective hard shell helmets.

2 - Please observe the Highway Code. Ride with your head up. Do not “White Line”. Wear bright clothing

3 – Competitor’s Machines –– It is recommended that a working rear light, either flashing or constant, is fitted to the machine in a position clearly visible to following road users and is active whilst the machine is in use.

4 - Event officials must not seek to regulate or interfere with other traffic

5 - Riders waiting to start must do so 20 metres before the timekeeper and stand well to the left and in single file.

6 - Paced and Company Riding – Time Trialling for Beginners states that “When a competitor gets caught by another one the Regulations require the overtaken rider to fall back to a distance behind the other one … At least 50 yards is required.”

7 – The course used for this event is on a high-speed road. Overtaking traffic will be moving fast.  For your own safety keep well to the left and as close to the fog line as possible (1m. max.)

8 – There will be times when the traffic will be leaving the main road and filtering off to the left – be aware of this possibility every time you cross any exit road.

9 – There will be times when the traffic will be coming on to the main road and filtering in from your left  – be aware of this possibility every time you cross any entry road.

Acknowledgements:

Thanks to all friends and members of CS Dynamo who have assisted in many ways to help this event to take place, but particularly those who volunteer to stand in the cold and marshal for nearly two hours.

Special mention of thanks to Time Keepers Ian and Gill Daveridge who not only stand in the cold for nearly two hours, they are timing how long they are standing in the cold!

Finally – again this year’s event is without Bernard Wale.

Every club has a “Bernard Wale” – a really nice bloke, who has cycled all his life and loved all aspects of it, always cheerful, always first to volunteer to marshal, totally reliable and who’s first thought is to help anybody.

We lost our “Bernard Wale” towards the end of 2007 and he is dearly missed by a staggering number of people.

This event is dedicated to the memory of Bernard.
