Bluebell 10 mile TT #10

The Fenland Clarion CC Time Trial is an exclusive cycling event designed for members of the Fenland Clarion Cycling Club and select guests. This challenging race takes place on public roads, offering riders a unique blend of rural landscapes and technical challenges.
Scheduled to begin at 18:46 hours in April and August, and at 19:01 hours during May through July, participants will start one minute apart from the gateway atop Ufford Hill. The course is meticulously mapped out on Strava (route ID: 3478673605824541110) for those who wish to familiarize themselves with the terrain beforehand.
Riders must adhere strictly to Cycling Time Trials regulations, ensuring that they are equipped with front and rear lights as well as approved helmets. Sign-on procedures will take place at Vergette's Field shortly after the finish point, where riders will receive pre-race instructions regarding traffic rules and safety measures before setting off on their journey.
The route begins atop Ufford Hill and proceeds down to King Street in Helpston via a sharp left turn. From there, cyclists continue onto B1443 past a railway crossing towards Bainton. Here, another crucial turn awaits at the church opposite, marking the start of the neutralized section within 20 mph limits for approximately 600 meters each lap.
The course is known for its varied terrain and potential hazards. Riders must navigate S-bends on Langley Bush Road with caution due to poor road conditions near the racing line. Additionally, cyclists are advised to slow down around horses or farm vehicles that may be present along the route.
Upon reaching Ufford again after completing one lap, riders will face a final left-hand bend before crossing the finish line at 10.4 miles total distance. It is essential for competitors to shout their numbers clearly as they pass through the neutralized sections and cross the finish line without stopping abruptly.
Parking facilities are available at Vergette's Field near the finish point, accessible via directions from presume.digestion.ponies on Google Maps (https://bit.ly/3Oq87oh).
