Don't follow the course
Marshals and signs are there to help but it’s your responsibility to follow the course. Typically, races follow the road rules. That means staying in the right lane and taking roundabouts anti-clockwise.

If you compete in a TT Bike, make sure that your bar ends are plugged.
Where there is a bike check, the official will also be looking at brakes, headset and tire wear.
Ride Dangerously
Ride Dangerously
Riding deemed to be the direct, indirect or even just potential cause of an accident may see you pulled from the race. Unnecessary braking, riding without care or forceful physical contact are all dangerous. If you lack experience of riding, you really must practice before joining a race.
Don't wear a helmet
Don't wear a helmet
Don't be a brain donor. Racing without helmet can put you in great danger. We can DQ you if we see you riding your bike without helmet.
Gain advantage by drafting

Don't listen to the race briefing
Don't listen to the race briefing
Race briefings emphasize the important safety points on the course, but you’ve heard it all before! Nine times out of ten they repeat stuff you already read in the race information but sometimes there are last minute changes that are vital to know about. If they are about safety or course changes you could easily find yourself with a DQ. If English isn’t your first language, study the race information, read the rule book, listen to the briefing extra carefully and ask if you don’t understand. Not knowing is no excuse.
