There is a 'riders notes' at the start, previous years everyone who wanted to could read it...but it's likely to get lost in the crowds now....

So here it is...

RIDERS NOTES - WHENBY COURSE
1. Please be careful when warming up near the crossroads. Be considerate of local residents. Keep the start area clear at all times & please do not distract the Timekeeper.

2. After your ride, please return to the start area - do not speak to, distract or bother the Timekeeper(s) as they have to concentrate. Results will be posted to the website later.

3. Marshal's are only there to indicate direction - they cannot direct traffic, it is up to you to ensure that it is safe to proceed.

4. The roads through Whenby are single-track, be aware of traffic and horses - esp farm traffic.

5. The road between Stillington & Farlington has some sharp, narrow bends.

6. Most of the roads on this course are unclassified country lanes, watch out for mud, pot holes and other debris.

I've never marshalled before, when I get there will I be told where to go exatly like on a map and also I guess I just point in the direction when a cyclist comes by and if its clear or not?

Just point the direction. You're there to ensure people don't get lost, not to direct traffic. I'm sure Rob will explain to you exactly where you need to go when you get there.
