Time Trial Rules

  • To be eligible to participate in the Fletcher’s Meadow Cross Trainers Time Trials you must be a member of FMCT and a registered member of OAT (Ontario Associations of Triathletes). You must be prepared to present your OAT membership number.
  • Each member must sign a time trial wavier per season.
  • There is a Fee of $2.00 per race.
  • Participants will need to sign in with the timekeeper 10 minutes prior to the start of the race.
  • The roads being used for the FMCT TT’s are not closed to any motor vehicles, pedestrians or livestock, as a cyclist you must expect to adhere to the Ontario Highway Traffic Act and use common sense when to give up the right of way.
  • TT’s are a sport for the individual and at no time is a participant allowed to receive any form of assistance during the race. Drafting is not permitted.
  • The Timekeeper is in charge of the race and has the ability to refuse a willing participant from entering the race due to unacceptable behavior (not that this has ever happened before but you never know).

Start of the Race

  • Timekeeper must have 2 stop watches
  • Volunteer will hold the riders bike at the start line to accommodate the rider for departure.
  • Notify the rider with a count down starting from 20 seconds down to zero.
  • 1 minute intervals.
  • Warm ups are not permitted on the race route while races are in progress.
  • Riders positioning will be decided based on the rider’s speed, the slower riders will depart first with a 1 minute interval having the fastest rider leaving last. (For the first few TT’s this will be an estimate as we have concluded a few TT’s we will used the results to determine the riders position on the start line.)

Post Race

  • Announce the overall winners for the Male & Female divisions and all the riders names and times of each race.
  • Occasionally sponsored draw prizes will be given out at certain races.
