  • Insurance: £1 of your entry fee in club time trials goes towards the CTT's 3rd party insurance scheme. However, we discovered recently that this is a contingency insurance (ie a reserve) which only applies when there is no other cover (ie personal or home insurance). You may want to review your own insurance cover.
  • Appeal to DNFs - As a rule the timekeepers will not leave the finish until all riders have been accounted for. Recently there were 3 DNFs but only one told us he had a problem. Obviously riders' priorities change when they drop out, but it would help to send a message back so we know you're OK.
