Note to all riders:
Rider Safety Notes
- PLEASE DO NOT PARK IN THE LAY-BY OR ON THE ROAD APPROACHING THE START. Give yourself enough time to find somewhere else to park - e.g. Strensall, Sheriff Hutton or somewhere in the general area.
The ONLY exceptions are those helping with the event and parents bringing younger riders. In these cases - please park carefully in the lay-by and not on the road.
Please take care when warming up/waiting for your start etc, be aware of traffic and don't block the road.
We had a few issues with the above last time - be aware that any problems/complaints could affect our ability to run events here in the future.
Rider Safety Notes
- Don't forget your Clifton membership card - you will be asked to show it when you sign on
Please be careful when warming up in the area around the start. Be considerate of other road users when warming up/parking - we don't want any complaints.
This event takes place on the public highway - all normal rules of the road apply & riders must obey the Highway Code.
Race marshal's are ONLY there to make sure you go the right way. They can't warn, direct or stop traffic for you - it is up to you to make sure it is safe to proceed. If you have to slow down and stop at a junction then please stop - don't take risks.
The road surface on parts of the course isn't great - there are some nice big potholes etc so be aware.
The head-down riding position is banned.
CLIFTON CC STRONGLY ENCOURAGES ALL RIDERS TO WEAR A HELMET - RIDERS UNDER 18 MUST WEAR A HELMET.
