Helmet & Rear Lights use on Time Trials

The wearing of Hard Shell Helmets which conforms to CE standard EN 1078 is compulsory for all Club Time Trials. Riders must wear a helmet.

NO HELMET - NO RIDE!

The Committee would also ask that you please note the following when riding and entering club TT events. The below applies to open events and all our club events.

Please pay attention to the following CTT regulations and recommendations:

    Competitors’ 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 while the machine is in use.

    Competitors’ Vehicles: No vehicles, except those of timekeepers and event officials, shall be parked in the vicinity of the start or finish.

    Competitors are requested not to warm up on the course after the first competitor has started.

    Details of any additional hazards, not listed on the start sheet, will be displayed or advised at the signing on point. All competitors must take note of these details when they sign on.

    No times will be given out at the finish.

    Please also note you are responsible for ensuring you and your bike comply with CTT regulations and recommendations.
