Entries

Entries to be sent to Ian Bryan (ianpbryanprivate@live.co.uk): 63 Marine Terrace, Blyth, NE24 2LR. Please enclose a completed CTT entry form and a cheque for £8.50 made payable to Ian Bryan. Alternatively go to www.ctt.org.uk and use the Internet Entry option. This is recommended for younger riders as it gives you the opportunity to download the necessary parental consent form which you must complete and bring with you on the day.

Closing date for postal entries is March 2nd, but it is worth checking after that [with Ian Bryan] to see if there are any places unfilled up to the evening of the 7th. Be warned though, as an early season race on a popular course the event is expected to be over- subscribed.

Entry Forms are also available from the CTT website
