Having inspected the course, there is a marked pothole on the  descent into Horninghold, in the middle of the road not on the racing line.   Also riders need to be aware of the rough  road surface rough on the off camber bend at the junction where the road from B;aston joins the course.  

The descent towards Stockerston needs to be ridden with care, as does the descent into and through Horninghold.

There will be a rider briefing at 930 am with JD outside the HQ for anyone who wants it.

Time for the ‘must dos’

• Card payment only, on the day (Members £5, Non-Members £6.)
• Front and rear lights and hard shell helmets are mandated by CTT (no lid no lights = no ride)
• Riders aged under 18 will need to fill in and bring along a filled in, signed and printed CTT Parental Consent Form and bring it along to their first race.  No form, no ride.  Email will not be accepted.
• Remember your Club Number ( we need it to give you the points you earn!)

CARD– LIGHTS (Front & Rear) – FORM (if under 18) – RACE

What else do you need to know? 

• It’s going to be fun!
• It’s a very quiet rural course with not much flat riding, so pace judgment plays a big part in success as the course rolls up and down repeatedly before a fast finishing stretch after the last turn.
• Don’t go mad at the start! It climbs then drags before a steep fast descent with a bend which can surprise the unwary before a right angle turn at the bottom. The descent into and ride through Horninghold needs care.
