The first rider will be off at 14:01 on the F15/10 course at Marston Mortaine that was used last year.
Update - 15 April 2013
We have submitted rider names to the Icknield RC (as of 15 April 2013) and we are now waiting for confirmation of start times. This is entirely in the hands of Icknield - as soon as we have the information we will publish it here, on Facebook and also via email.The event
The HQ is Marston Moretaine Village Hall. At the HQ you will need to "sign on", i.e. sign the start sheet next to your name/ number. You will also pick up your number at this point. The event will be run under CTT Rules and Regulations.
There will be a small cost to ride so as to cover the race levy which is payable to CTT and cover the costs incurred etc. This is likely to be less than £5. Details to follow as soon as we have them.
Give yourself enough time to get signed on, set up and warmed up. The HQ is "a good 10 minutes" - i.e. about 2-3 miles ride from the start. Give yourself longer if you don't want to miss your start time.
Aim to get to the HQ at least one hour before your start.
You will be set off at one minute intervals, as per the startsheet. Check your time and get to the start 5-10 minutes before your allotted time.

Course
This is a good course and should set you on your way to a season's PB. It is probably the fastest and safest 10 in the district. If you have ridden Southill expect to ride 1.5-2.5 minutes faster. It is your responsibility to know the route. Marshals will be in place but they are not there to guide you necessarily.
Start on old A421 at lay-by, on top of hill, 0.4 miles north of Brogborough at point 15½ flat kerb stones south of the north end of the raised kerb stones (GR 966387).
Proceed north along old A421, straight on at Marston roundabout, taking second exit. The turn is at Fields Road Wootton roundabout (5.44 miles).
Retrace south along old A421, straight on at Marston roundabout to finish 20 yards past start of Armco barrier, 14 yards past a drain and 8 yards before a drain (GR 972398).
The finish is between the entry gate and exit gate of Shanks landfill site, on far side of new A421 dual-carriageway.
