There is one Right Turn on the course; all competitors MUST make a FOOT DOWN and STOP at this point on both laps. Any violation will lead to disqualification.

After the second lap of the bike leg competitors return again to the school to rack bikes for the second run over the same route as the first.

BTF rules will be applied through out the event. The cycle ride will be on open public highweays; all riders must be aware of other traffic around them and comply with the Highway Code at all times.

No helmet no ride (Helmets must meet safety standards, no head fairings – see BTF website for details).

Prizes will be awarded for 1,2,3 overall male and female + first place age group male and female. We also have a prize for the 1st novice. Changing & W/C facilities are available in the school. Refreshments. Results will be published on this, the club website. www.westsuffolkwheelers.co.uk
