The start is 0.7 miles from the HQ, all of it uphill. Allowing 10 minutes from the HQ to the start gives plenty of margin.
On arrival at the checking area stay on the left side of the road, line up in race order and take care not to block the road. Here your bike will be checked by the start line officials. Wait until instructed before moving to the start area.
There must be a maximum of two riders at a time in the start area. You will be called to the start line by the timekeeper. There will be a pusher but you can start unassisted if you prefer.
If you are late and miss your start time, do not proceed past the checking area. Report to the start line official. You will be started in the next vacant slot at the timekeeper’s discretion.
It is essential not to obstruct access to the farm track between the checking and start areas.
Cars must not be parked on Clapham Old Road.
