Open TTs• Pre-entry required – a couple of weeks before
– Dick suggests apply three weeks before• May allow time for alternate event in case of full entry
– Check CTT website• May be online or postal mail entry
– Fixed number of spaces (120/150)• Spaces allocated on performance basis• Stand-by places are available if event is full
– Large field• Times according to organiser
– Must be at the start ready– Late start ‘ready to ride’ means lateness is added to finish time –e.g. 2
minutes after official time – start will be delayed until there’s a place and your time has 2 minutes added.
• Allow for time to get to start and watch for special regulations (e.g. ‘no U turns near the start’)
On The Day

• Registration– Number– Sign in– Allow for time to get from HQ to start
