Section 1 - Welcome to the Enervit Tour of Cambridgeshire
Vericool Sports Management
The VSM team welcome you to the inaugural Enervit Tour of Cambridgeshire (ToC). You are about
to take part in an event which we expect will re-define the mass participation cycle sport scene in
the UK and we really hope you enjoy the experience. We have gone to great lengths to create an
event experience which gives the masses and many of our competitive elite level riders a real taste
of what the best organised events around the world are like for amateurs and professionals alike.
Our vision is to create a pro experience for everyday amateur and Masters riders. We are planning
for the Tour of Cambridgeshire to be held up alongside the Etape du Tour, the Maratona and the
Cape Town Cycle Challenge as the must do events in the world in terms of the experience of
competing in a technically excellent event on closed roads in a fully produced spectacle.
We are delighted that both the Gran Fondo and Chrono are UWCT events in 2015. We hope to host
the UCI World Amateur Championships within this decade thereby facilitating the opportunity for
everyday riders in the most vibrant cycling nation on earth the opportunity to compete for a
rainbow jersey on home soil.
The Enervit Tour of Cambridgeshire is not just about the riders at the front of the age classifications;
it is about providing that same professional experience for the masses, people who love their cycling
but do not have the taste or the appetite for the cut and thrust of a race. The ToC is for you too.
The opportunity to experience the spectacle on fully supported closed roads is a rare treat in the UK.
We do hope you all enjoy a safe positive experience riding the ToC whether in the Chrono or the
Gran Fondo and that you tell your friends about it.
Finally we would like to offer thanks to all of those organisations who have partnered with us to
create something unique on the British landscape including Cambridgeshire County Council who
backed us from the very beginning as part of their Tour de France legacy. We do hope we do you
proud.
UWCT Corporation
The UCI World Cycling Tour is very happy to have the Tour of Cambridgeshire as one of our qualifier
events for the 2015 UCI Amateur World Championships. In fact, we were already looking for a few
years to a strong event in the UK to include in the series. Britain has in recent years been very
successful in professional cycling with Tour de France winners Wiggins and Froome, but also Mark
Cavendish as one of the big stars attracting young and old to also taste a new cycling experience.
They now get the chance to have a once-in-a-lifetime experience to ride like a pro for one day.
Continental style amateur cycling has finally made it to the UK. So if you want to go to Denmark in
September, go and get qualified by finishing in the top 25% of your age category.

Cambridgeshire County Council
Cambridgeshire County Council is proud of its involvement in the Tour de France and the continued
efforts at building a legacy to promote cycling, tourism, health and well-being. The County can now
say that legacy has been secured.
We see the Tour of Cambridgeshire as a unique opportunity to have the area recognised nationally
and internationally. It provides a platform for the local authorities, residents and businesses to
celebrate and endorse all that is good within the County.
The fact that an event of this magnitude is being driven wholly by local residents shows the ambition
and determination of the people of Cambridgeshire and the County Council is honoured to facilitate
it.
Peterborough City Council
Peterborough is proud to be a key part of the first ever Tour of Cambridgeshire. Our city has more
than 150 miles of cycle routes connecting the whole of Peterborough and that means there is no
where you can’t get to on a bike!
The closed road Gran Fondo event has never before been seen in the UK and it’s a great honour for
the city to host the start and finish. We hope that serious and leisure cyclists come together to take
part in this wonderful finale to the weekend.
For those spending some time in Peterborough you will find a heritage city, an environment city, an
event city and a modern exciting cosmopolitan city. Our magnificent Norman cathedral is a sight to
behold with its majestic architecture. Open spaces are plentiful. Peterborough boasts Green Flag
award-winning parks, nature reserves and our country park, Ferry Meadows, where you can relax
and take a walk around the lakes and woodland.
Peterborough’s historic city centre is a vibrant regional shopping destination and Queensgate
Shopping Centre sits in the heart of the city where it complements independent stores and a thriving
market. For food and drink there is a diverse selection of restaurants serving cuisine for every palate
and many, alongside some fantastic bars and pubs, open well into the evening.
Enervit
Enervit is one of the World’s leading sports nutrition companies and has been working alongside a
Final Version May 2015
Enervit Tour of Cambridgeshire Race Book
number of the worlds sporting champions for nearly 50 years including Francesco Moser back in the
1980’s and more recently the Italian National Cycling Team. With this experience, coupled with the
significant efforts in Research and Development, Enervit has been able to introduce unique products
to the sporting world helping athletes better manage their nutritional strategies.
Enervit is launching in the UK this summer and is delighted to be the title sponsor of the inaugural
Tour of Cambridgeshire. This is the first event that Enervit have chosen to sponsor in the UK which is
testimony to the quality of the event and its organisation.
From all at Enervit we wish you good luck at the Tour of Cambridgeshire and we look forward to
seeing you on the day – please come and visit us at in the expo area!
Importance of Registration Schedule
Whilst our welcome is warm and heartfelt the warmth and feeling of our welcome will be all the
more passionate if you are able to support us by working with us regarding the Registration
Schedule. We have a limited capacity for handling large spikes in the numbers of riders registering.
We have also gone to the effort of producing an EXPO area, a Food Court and indoor Chrono Start
ramp and podium which all benefit from footfall and spectators. Please help us by registering as
early as you can for the event to enjoy the spectacle we have produced. We MUST avoid a rush of
arrivals at the last minute on the Sunday morning potentially causing issues and spoiling the
experience we have created.
ToC Event Solutions Centre
VSM has made every effort to produce a technically excellent event with ToC. There is a chance that
there is something that we missed or which hasn’t quite worked out according to plan. We need this
feedback and we will work to resolve issues which may spoil your experience. To this end we have
established the ToC Event Solutions Centre whereby we will endeavour to resolve issues as promptly
as possible. The ToC Event Solutions Centre is located in the Atrium near the Registration area.
Press and VIPs
Press and VIPs intending to come to ToC at PAS are entitled to certain privileges by pre-registering.
The privileges consist of Free Parking and access to the Press and VIP area within PAS. Please preregister your attendance with Patrick Trainor (patrick@trainormpr.com). Your name will be added
to the Press and VIP List retained by the Traffic Management people at the entrances to PAS over
the weekend. Once inside PAS please go to the Information Desk and collect a Gold wrist band to
ensure your access to the Press and VIP area. Those not having pre-registered will have to pay the
£10 per day parking fee for non-competitors.
Section 2 – VSM Environmental Statement
Vericool Sports Management applies a strong environmental policy to our events as does
Cambridgeshire County Council. Peterborough itself is the UK Environment Capital in terms of its
new housing and the attraction of environmental sector businesses. The local communities through
Final Version May 2015
Enervit Tour of Cambridgeshire Race Book
which our event passes also have the right to expect that we leave their local environments as we
find them. If we don’t respect this position we will not be welcomed back in future years. The
particular aspects of the Environmental Policy we really need to assure relate to waste. Waste
packaging is a necessary by-product of providing clean fresh drinking water within easy access to
people riding in a timed event (waters bottles) and also providing easily accessible, safe energy
products (powder sachets, gels and bars). The locations where waste (packaging in particular) could
be problem for the Event are:




Peterborough Arena and Showground
Alconbury Weald Feed Station
East View Farm Feed Station
The Plough Public House Feed Station
VSM is providing waste retention facilities in the form of skips and bins in and around the start /
finish area on PAS and at the three feed stations. It is the responsibility of the riders to make sure
that they place their waste into the facilities.
Generally on the roads of the Chrono Route and the Gran Fondo Route riders MUST retain their
packaging waste and place it in the facilities provided.
We all have a moral duty to respect this statement, the countryside and the facilities laid on for the
Event.
Failure to follow and respect this Environmental Statement will damage the reputation of the Tour
of Cambridgeshire and will make the event harder to promote in future years.
Section 3 – Anti Doping Control
A maximum of 100 anti-doping tests will be conducted over the weekend of which at least 50% will
be conducted on the podium finishers. The remaining tests will be conducted on individuals in the
Gran Fondo according to UCI protocols.
Riders will be identified by representatives from the Anti-Doping Control unit immediately after the
finish of the Gran Fondo and escorted to the Anti-Doping Control unit where they will be held until
the necessary procedure has been completed.
Any rider failing an Anti-Doping Control test, subject to the results being upheld, will receive a
lifetime ban from the Tour of Cambridgeshire and any other event promoted by Vericool Sports
Management. The name of the rider shall be published on the Tour of Cambridgeshire Website. If
the rider holds a racing license then the relevant governing body shall be informed and the rider’s
details will be passed to the UWCT and the UCI who will apply their own sanctions.

Section 6 – Registration and Arrival
It is requested that for either the Chrono or the Gran Fondo participants arrive in plenty of time
before their start time even if they have registered previously. This is particularly the case on Sunday
morning for the Gran Fondo. We expect to receive between five and six thousand cars onto PAS
during Sunday morning. We can process approximately 1,200 cars an hour. If participants arrive just
in time we will have a big problem and since the road closures are fixed many participants may find
that they are just too late!
The Registration at the Tour of Cambridgeshire is of critical importance to the success of the whole
Event; specifically its ability to process substantial numbers of riders in a short space of time on
Sunday morning for the Gran Fondo. VSM has set out a schedule for registration below and requests
that participants respect the schedule and register in their nominated time frame. In addition to
alleviating delay on Sunday morning it also helps to create atmosphere in and around the Chrono
start ramp, the podium and footfall through the EXPO, the success of which is integral to the long
term success of ToC.
Registration is located in the Atrium on PAS. There are signs directing participants to the entrance to
the Atrium from the Car Park. Additionally the traffic management operatives will be able to point
participants in the right direction. Please ask as you arrive at the car park entrance if unsure.
Gran Fondo Registration
The Registration is important for two key reasons:
1. To pick up your Race Pack
2. To register yourself for the insurance cover
The Race Pack contains a jersey number only for the Chrono competitors and bike number (timing
chip) and your jersey number for Gran Fondo competitors. Bring a printed copy of your Entry
Confirmation Form with you and if appropriate your racing license. The required race licence for the
front pens/gates in the Gran Gondo is a Full British Cycling race licence (not provisional), TLI or LVRC
Final Version May 2015
Enervit Tour of Cambridgeshire Race Book
race licence. For non GB riders a UCI national governing body licence from your own country is
needed. Also please ensure that you know your race number before arrival at the Registration Desk.
These will be published on the ToC website at least one week before the Event.
All jersey numbers have a coloured band which differentiates the Masters age classifications. The
number sequencing differentiates the genders within a Masters age classification.
Upon arrival in the Registration Hall please take the time to watch the ToC briefing. Your
registration will confirm that you have watched and accepted the briefing. The registration area has
six channels. One channel is reserved exclusively for riders holding a racing license who identified
that they are interested in ‘racing’ in the Gran Fondo or in the Chrono or both. This channel is
identified as ‘Race Only’ (All Chrono riders and Gran Fondo race numbers 001 to 1999). There are
four channels dedicated to Gran Fondo non-race riders. These are identified by rider number (2000
to 2999, 3000 to 3999, 4000 to 4999 and 5000+) . There is one channel for riders who have entered
but do not have a printed copy of their Entry Confirmation Form and for those riders who wish to
‘Enter at the Event’ (EatE). This channel is called EatE. EatE is accepted for the Gran Fondo only.
Only cash payment will be accepted. The entry fee for EatE is £80.
In the registration channels you will be asked to present a printed copy of your Entry Confirmation
Form which has a QR code printed. The Entry Confirmation From will be used the organisers to
register you into the Event.
Upon completing Registration riders will be asked to look at an illustration of how to mount your
bike number timing chip and jersey number which is available in the Registration area.
Please note that riders who wish to enter the Race Starting Gate MUST enter on line in advance.
Rider numbers for the Gran Fondo will be published on-line on the ToC website
www.tourofcambridgeshire.com during the week prior to the Event. Please make a note of your
number before you arrive to aid registration. If you forget your number then the ToC Event
Solutions desk can help but there will probably be a queue.
The on-line entries facility will close at 12.00hrs on Friday 5th June. Thereinafter only EatE entries
are available.
Upon having completed Registration follow the Exit signs into the EXPO in the Arena.
Chrono Registration
The Registration is important for two key reasons
1. To pick up your Race Pack
2. To register yourself of the insurance cover
The Race Pack contains a Jersey Number only for the Chrono competitors Bring a printed copy of
your Entry Confirmation Form with you along with, a piece of identity.

Upon arrival in the Registration Hall please take the time to watch the ToC Briefing. Your
Registration will confirm that you have watched and accepted the briefing. The registration area has
six channels. One channel is reserved exclusively for riders competing in either the Chrono or the
‘racing’ Gran Fondo or both. This channel is identified as Race Only. Please join the Race Only
channel with a copy of your Entry Confirmation Form and a note of your race number. Race
numbers will be published on the website at least 1 week before the Event.
Riders MUST register for the Chrono at least one hour before your Masters age classification is to
commence. The Masters age group classifications commencement times will be published prior to
the Event. This will allow the organisers to fill the start sheet without any gaps and give the reserves
the chance to prepare themselves.
There is no EatE allowed in the Chrono. Riders on the Reserve List are asked to make themselves
known to the ToC Event Solutions desk upon arrival. Further instructions to these riders will be
issued here. In any event, reserves for the Chrono will be informed whether you have a place on the
start sheet in your age group one hour before the commencement of your Masters age classification
start.
Following your registration, the Chrono timing chip is to be collected from the HS Sports desk where
you will be advised on the process of returning the chip, what to do if you a have cause to abandon
and the cost of replacement in the event of loss. The Chrono timing chip can only be collected on
Saturday at the HS Sports desk as you enter the Chrono Holding area. Mounting of the Chrono
timing chip will be assisted by HS Sports staff. The timing chip issued to you will relate to the rider
number on your jersey.

Status – The ToC Chrono is a UWCT Event and the top 25% of each Masters age classification shall be
invited by the UCI to compete in the UCI World Amateur Road Championships and will receive UWCT
medals; only the first 3 in each Masters age classification will be invited to the podium. The ToC

shall last for several hours. The podium schedule and requirements are set out below.
Number and Timing Chip Collection, Attachment, Re-Collection – Riders shall collect their Race Pack
from the registration desk according to the Registration Schedule. The Race Pack shall contain a

attachment and the helmet number attachment are shown in the Registration area. In any event the
jersey number is to be mounted on the rear of your jersey and the two helmet numbers on the front
and the left hand side of your helmet. The competitors in the ToC Chrono will also require a timing
chip. The timing chip will be available for collection at the HS Sports desk in the Arena on Saturday
6th June from 10.30hrs as riders enter the Chrono Holding Area. HS Sports shall assist riders to attach
the chip in the correct manner. The zip ties issued at Registration will be required.
Upon completion of your Chrono you will be funnelled into a run-out area beyond the finish gantry
where you will be assisted to remove your timing chip by a member of the HS Sports team. Please
apply your brakes after finishing and respect the duties of the HS Sports team. Their job is to help
ensure that we don’t have to chase lost chips and apply fines.
Loss of Chrono Chip – The Chrono chips cost £70 each. Any lost chips MUST be paid for. HS Sports
shall pursue all riders who lose their chips for the full cost of the chips and associated costs for
inconvenience.
Start Times – Riders in the ToC Chrono MUST report to the Chrono Holding area 20 minutes before
their start time. Riders will be released from the start ramp at 30 second intervals from 11.00hrs.

disqualified and unable to ride at a later time irrespective of the reasons there will be no
exceptions to this!

trainers by mechanics from Rutland Cycling to complete their warm up / stay warm. Five minutes
before the riders start time their bike shall be removed from the turbo and the bike and rider shall
be escorted to the start ramp. This is an important part of the production of the ToC Chrono. It is
designed to act as a service to riders, to provide a set piece spectacle and assist the organisers to
process the riders in the volume necessary to conduct the Event. If a rider wishes to mount
themselves on the turbos or not use the turbos then please just inform the mechanic. In any event
riders MUST report to the Holding area 20minute before their start time.





It is obligatory that riders wear a suitable helmet for the ToC Chrono. Riders compete at
their own risk and have signed a disclaimer to that effect.
Competitors should note that on approx half of the Chrono route there will be riders on both
sides of the road. Be careful when overtaking to watch for oncoming riders on the opposite
side of the road.
Police Motor bikes will be riding the route from time to time to support road security. Do
not impede them or try to follow them.
Always stay to the left hand side of the road unless overtaking, do not ride in a group or take
advantage by sitting close behind another rider. Always look up and be aware of your
surroundings especially if you change the line that you are riding as you may be about to be
overtaken!
Drafting
Riders spotted drafting by the commissaires, stationary on the course or on motos will be
disqualified. The UCI Rules of drafting will be applied. You must ride this as a single rider with no aid
from sitting behind other riders.
Section 10 - Technical Briefing ToC Gran Fondo
ToC Briefing – Please watch the ToC Briefing Video on line or in the registration area. In Registration
you will be confirming that you have watched it.
Status – The ToC Gran Fondo is a UWCT Event and the top 25% of each Masters age classification
shall be invited by the UCI to compete in the UCI World Amateur Road Championships and will
Final Version May 2015
Enervit Tour of Cambridgeshire Race Book
receive UWCT medals; only the first 3 in each Masters age classification will be invited to the
podium. It does not carry any license points for those with racing licenses. The podium schedule
and requirements are set out below.
All finishers outside the first 25% in each Masters age / gender classification across the line shall
receive a ToC finishers medal. See Section 11 for collection.
Number and Timing Chip Attachment and Disposal – An illustration of the attachment of the jersey
number and the bike number timing chip are available in the Registration area. The bike number
timing chips are disposable and it is not necessary to return them to the organisers. It will be
necessary however to show your bike number timing chip to the Sue Ryder team in order to receive
your finishers ‘goody bag’.
Loss of Gran Fondo Chip – If you lose your bike plate timing chip before the start of the Gran Fondo
then a replacement will be available at the HS Sport desk for a fee of £20. The Race Pack will contain
a timing chip and a jersey number which you will need to attach (pins provided). If the bike number
chip is lost during the Gran Fondo your time will not be recorded and you will unfortunately appear
in the results as a Did Not Finish (DNF). The consequence of a DNF is that you will not be entitled to
a finishers ‘goody bag including a Medal.
Start Times – the start times for the Gran Fondo are set out in Section 8 - ToC Schedule
Gran Fondo Start – The Gran Fondo start is produced on the main entrance road from North Gate.
This is identified on the PAS site Map attached.
A Gran Fondo is a mass participation race and the timing starts ‘from the gun’ meaning that the clock
starts ticking for all competitors at the same time. Your result will be your finishing position across
the line. You will also receive a completion time for your ride which is a time ‘from the gun’ until
you cross the Finish line at PAS.
There are two starts in the Gran Fondo:
1. Neutralised Start
2. Official Start
The Neutralised Start is at 12.00hrs for start gate 1 and start gate 2 shortly afterwards and thereafter
each start gate shall open a few moments after the preceding start gate has rolled off once safe to
do so. The purpose of the neutralised start is to get riders moving slowly, safely and securely out
onto the closed road circuit.
The Neutralised Start for riders in Start Gate 1 shall follow the ToC Event commissaire’s car, No. 1
lead car. The car shall be clearly identified and shall display a flag while the under the Neutralised
Start and shall indicate the Official Start when the flag is withdrawn into the lead car. The Gran
Fondo for the licensed competitors shall commence at this point.
The Neutralised Start for the remaining start gates shall also follow a commissaire’s car, No.2 lead
car. The Neutralised Start shall remain strictly observed until the commissaire in No. 2 lead car is
satisfied that the riders from each of the start gates are rolling out. The commissaire is then
responsible for withdrawing the flag and the Gran Fondo commences. Depending upon the number
Final Version May 2015
Enervit Tour of Cambridgeshire Race Book
of participants and or the road conditions the official start may come a while after the timing mat
has been passed over which will record that you have started.
The Official Start for both the licensed riders and the unlicensed competitive and non-competitive
riders shall be when the flag is withdrawn into the lead car. Once the official start has taken place
then the riders are free to race.
CAUTION – The most likely time for rider incidents to occur is during the Neutralised Start and
immediately after the Official Start. This should be mitigated by the faster and more competitive
riders starting at the front. It is essential that during these phases of the event all riders respect one
another and ride safely in a group. It is strongly recommend that at all times slower riders ride on
the left hand side of the road and faster riders on the right and that overtaking by faster riders is
done on the right.
The start is designed for two discrete communities of rider:


Licensed Race Competitors (Start Gate 1, which may also be segmented by age group. Entry
to Start Gate 1 is by a coloured wristband)
Non-Competitive Riders (Start Gates 2 to 5 with entry being granted into specific pens by
your race number)
A small physical gap shall separate the start gates to allow riders in and out as the start is being
assembled.
Riders shall enter the start gates from the rear of the start gate when the start gates open at
11.00hrs. Access will only be granted to Start Gate 1 if a rider has a wrist band. Wristbands are to be
collected from the Enervit stand in the Expo upon presentation of a token. Riders shall enter the
remaining start gates on a first come first served basis according to their race number.
Once in the start gates, due to the number of participants, only a limited exit and re-entrance will be
possible. Please be courteous to other riders who may have to make an exit and return to their
bikes.
Limited toilets are provided around the start area. Please use the facilities in the Arena or the
various toilet blocks identified on the site map before entering the start gates. In any event do not
urinate (or worse!) anywhere other than in the facilities provided. Any riding caught doing so will be
disqualified.
Coffee will be served in and around the start gates on a pay as you go basis, cash transactions only,
while the start gates are filling up. Please dispose of any waste in the designated bins set out in and
around the start gates.
Gran Fondo Route Hazards – there are very few hazards on the ToC Gran Fondo Route. Please look
at the Event Notice Board in the Registration area for any last minute safety information. In any
event the key hazards are:

Left hand turn from Oundle Road to Bullock Rd. There will be a substantial numbers of
riders arriving at this junction together. The road also narrows. There will be roadside
warning. Take care and be considerate.
Feed Station at Alconbury Weald. This feed station is on the old runway and has plenty of
space none the less beware of riders slowing down, pulling over, stopping and re-starting. In
the licensed race this will be an official feed station. Riders beware of other riders collecting
their feed. The feed station is identified upon approach.
Feed Station at East View Farm. This feed station is off Oilmills Rd and in a hard surfaced
yard. The feed station is on the right hand side of the road on approach. Beware of riders
slowing down, pulling over, stopping, walking into the feed station and re-starting. Three is
a short steep ramp into and out of the feed station to and from the road. The main entrance
to the yard will be used for riders both arriving and departing. The entrance and the exit to
the yard is segregated by crash barriers as a result of which this is narrow. Utmost CAUTION
is required. A filter lane is set out on the road at this point to assist exiting riders. Riders
who choose not to stop at East View Farm MUST keep to the left hand side of the road to
avoid riders leaving the feed station. Riders beware of other riders collecting their feed.
Feed Station at The Plough Public House. The feed station is situated on the right hand side
of the road off Ramsey Rd. The feed station is identified on approach. The main entrance
will be used for both riders arriving and departing. The surface of the car park is of poor
quality and it is recommended that riders wishing to stop pull over to the right and slow
right down before pulling into the car park. Riders who choose not to stop at the feed
station must keep over to the left hand side of Ramsey Rd to avoid any riders departing from
the feed station. Riders beware of other riders collecting their feed.
Wind can be quite strong in the Fens. It is a natural hazard. Riding in strong wind can be
dangerous. It is recommended that small groups of non-competitive riders work together to
protect one another from the wind and make full use of the closed roads.
Dykemoor Road, the link between Ramsey Forty Foot and Benwick is a concrete surface
road. It is in reasonable condition but the surface is uneven and there small junctions
between the concrete sections which can ‘rattle your teeth’. Be aware and hang on tightly!
Gran Fondo Feed Stations. The feed stations are supplied with 500ml bottles of water, self service
bins of energy powder, energy bars, gels and some other solid foodstuffs. Assistance is provided to
distribute the refreshments. The Plough Pub is also serving typical public house snacks and drinks if
riders wish to use this facility then they will need to make a cash payment to the landlord as these
provisions are not provided by the organisers. The organisers have made provision for waste
collection within the feed stations. Please place any packaging you want to dispose of in the packing
recovery receptacles provided.
Gran Fondo Finish. The finish line of the Gran Fondo is in PAS. A lanterne rouge gantry is positioned
1km from the finish. At the finish the organisers are providing bottles of water. The waste
packaging is to be placed in the packaging recovery facilities, bins and skips, provided or taken away
with the riders for ethical disposal elsewhere. Once you have finished please move on through the
finish to make way for other riders who are finishing.

Sport Event Solutions desk.
Gran Fondo finishers’ medals and goody bag are to be collected from the Sue Ryder stand within the
Arena. The finishers medal and goody bag will be awarded to each finisher, outside the first 25% of
each Masters age / gender classification across the line, upon presentation of their bike number
timing chip. This facility will be open until the EXPO closes down on Sunday evening.
Gran Fondo Race Support – Medical / Technical will be available out on the Gran Fondo circuit all
afternoon. The organisers have arranged for a fleet of motorcycle mounted paramedics to patrol
within the Gran Fondo. Please to not impede their progress if they need to get by to attend and
accident. If you have an incident and need medical support make your way to an event official (feed

for assistance. If you are unable to proceed then wait for assistance. Ask another rider to report
your need and the location.
Team cars or any other non-official vehicles are prohibited from being on the closed roads.
If possible the Chief Commissaire will, at his sole discretion, bring neutral support vehicles in behind
any leading groups of riders at the front of the Gran Fondo.
If you become in need of mechanical assistance then progress to the next Official and ask them to
report your situation to the Shimano Support team. If we are unable to reach you before the roads
are re-opened then you will be picked up by the broom wagon and repatriated to PAS with your bike
at the back of the race.
If you are unable to complete the Gran Fondo please ensure that your situation is reported to the
organisers in order that all riders can be reconciled.
Gran Fondo photography is provided by a highly regarded team from Germany called Sportograf.
They will have photographers located around the circuit each day. They will also have a fleet of
motor cycle mounted photographers to ride within the Gran Fondo and capture images of riders in
the event. Please do not impede the motorcycles.
Medio Fondo cut off point is at Pondersbridge. Riders can either choose to take a shorter route back
to PAS or if the average pace is 12mph or less then the rider(s) will be required to take the Medio
Fondo route. It is also a requirement that if a rider is overtaken by the broom wagon which is
travelling at 12 miles per hour then the rider will be riding on open roads and will be required to take
the Medio Fondo route. In the event that the shorter route is taken and the Lead Car No. 1
overtakes you it is a requirement that you pull over and allow the race to pass by without hindrance.
In any event the Commissaire will instruct you to do this.
Safety – It is a requirement that all riders wear a regulation safety helmet. Also please ride with
common courtesy and good road presence. Events like the Tour of Cambridgeshire Gran Fondo shall
not survive in the UK if they become known as being dangerous. It is up to the riders to ensure the
safety of other riders. The organisers have provided a fantastic playground for the riders to enjoy
themselves in and it is a responsibility of each and every rider to ride with respect to others and
above all safely. We owe it to ourselves and our sport.

Finally be aware that in the event of minor cuts and bruising a First Aid Station is located at each
feed station. If you cannot continue in the Gran Fondo then wait for the broom wagon and make
your circumstances known to HS Sports when you are repatriated to PAS.

DNF status officially and confirm your safe arrival back to PAS.

seating available. Additionally there are a range of coffee operators around PAS.
Bottled water will be provided at the finish of the Gran Fondo for all riders.
Section 14 – Critical House Keeping
ToC is being produced at PAS to ensure that a superb technical event can be delivered. PAS is self
contained, has easy access and plentiful parking. The costs to provide this are substantial. The
organisers will be labile for any costs to either clean or make good the site following the Event.
PLEASE BE CONSIDERATE when using the facilities, specifically in relation to:
1. Damage to the grounds either within the buildings or in the car park area. The particular
concern here is in the event of wet ground and the need to use some of the grass parking
areas. In the event of cars causing damage to the grass above and beyond reasonable wear
and tear then the organisers reserve the right to apply a £100 fine to the offending vehicles.
This will be applied by the traffic management company. In the event that wet grounds
cause vehicles to become stuck the vehicle owner / driver / responsible person must inform
the traffic management operators who will call in our specialist vehicle removal operators
who can extract vehicles and limit damage to the grounds. These charges will be passed on
at cost to the vehicles.
2. Waste / litter MUST BE placed in the waste bins made available at PAS and out on the
circuits. The organisers are providing wrapped products and bottled water. The packaging
Final Version May 2015
Enervit Tour of Cambridgeshire Race Book
from these products is of particular concern and MUST be disposed of in the appropriate
receptacles. PLEASE make an effort to use these facilities or take the litter away with you.
Failure to do so will drive up entry costs for subsequent years.
Section 15 – ToC Event Solutions Centre
The organisers recognise that we might not get everything right at the event. We have established a
dedicated desk for dealing with queries associated with the event in general. If you are in any way
