Terms & Conditions

This event is run under CTC rules. 

The Gridiron is NOT a race or trial of speed. You are expected to follow the rules of the road and show due consideration to other road users. The route is on open, public and forest roads. You should prepare by studying the route - the route is not waymarked or marshalled. You are solely responsible for your safety/conduct. The organiser provides no rescue service. The CTC provides these routes on a voluntary basis. The provision of the route does not imply a guarantee of safety and the riders must be aware that although this is an organised ride liability responsibility for the actions of riders and other road users falls solely on the entrants. Proof of insurance is not a requirement to ride but is highly recommended. Your bicycle must be in a roadworthy condition and you must have the experience and level of fitness to complete the ride. Tri-bars are not permitted, you are not allowed to ride a bicycle with them fitted as they do not allow the degree of control necessary to safely ride in a group.
