Derby Spring Sportive - 23rd April 2023

We the organisers have a responsibility and duty of care towards our participants. The following regulations are to be followed for the duration of the event;

You must be 14 or over to participate in the 40K route, between 14 and 16 to participate in the medium route (80K) and 17 or 18 to participate in the 160K route. Under 18’s must have the consent of a parent or guardian and be accompanied by a nominated adult at all times whilst on the ride. All riders under 18 must have a signed parental consent form which includes details of the nominated adult that they will be riding with.

You must obey all Highway Code Rules. You are requested to ride in single file where appropriate and no more than 2 abreast at any time. Please be aware of your fellow cyclists and other traffic.

Please do not pass through any traffic lights on red. Derbyshire & Staffordshire Police may be patrolling the route and any cyclists found breaking the law may be subject to individual prosecution. Failure to comply with the rule will result in disqualification.

It is mandatory THAT ALL riders wear a safety approved cycling helmet complying with latest ANSI Z90/4 OR SNELL standards. Any rider not wearing a helmet will not be covered by the event insurance and will be disqualified from the event and could be liable for damages if involved in an accident on that basis.

Participants will be responsible for the road worthiness & safe working order of their own cycle.

Tri bars / aero bars are allowed, under a sensible use policy; they may not be used in group riding, heavy traffic or whilst approaching road junctions. We recommend they are only used whilst in solo situations. Failure to comply to this regulation will result in disqualification.
