ON THE DAY
Your Tour de Ricky start times are as follows:
200km riders 8am
100km riders 9am
50km riders 10am
YOU MAY CHANGE ROUTES BUT MUST NOTIFY US AT THE START.
To avoid later starters creating a queue and holding up earlier leavers, your Brevet Cards will only be available an hour before your start. If you are upgrading to a longer route, this won’t be ideal but you should ask, politely, if you can have your Brevet Card early. If you are going down a distance this will not be an issue.
We would encourage you to ride to the venue as their isn’t enough parking for everyone. There is a general parking fee but it wil be free for riders. If you can’t get in, then there is plenty of street parking around Maple Cross, especially on the Old Uxbridge Road heading Southwards from Woodoaks Farm.
At the start, pick up your Brevet Card, have a coffee/tea from the Tea Shack and enjoy the atmosphere.
When you pick up your Brevet Card you’ll find two Prize Draw entry tokens in your pack. There are different prizes and you can put each token into one of the prize draw boxes. The more the value the less winners, whilst other prizes may have multiple winners. You get the chance to pick which prizes to go for, whailst gambling on the odds, which are dictated by how many other riders go for the same prize! It’s gonna be fun, choose your entries carefully.
With so many entries, tweaked routes, new controls, a finisher’s roundel and much more, this look like it’s gonna be a mega event.
DISCOUNTED TOUR de RICKY KIT CAN BE ORDERED IN ADVANCE.
BARGAIN PRICES ON BOTH, THESE ARE TRADITIONAL COTTON CAPS AND THE JERSEYS ARE HIGH QUALITY KALAS SPINN (at almost half retail price for early orders and over 30% off for later orders)
You must be over 16 to enter via British Cycling and if you are 16 or 17 years of age you will need to bring a Parental Consent form along on the day.
At the sign on, riders can enter a prize draw, which will be drawn whilst riders are out on the course, so that the lucky winners can collect their prizes when they finish. Prizes not collected on the day will be forfeited.

TRAINING PARTNERS- BIKETERRA & TriSMOOTH
BikeTerra is a free platform (with a premium option) for Smart Trainer users that allows for the creation of real life routes online (bored of the Zwift and MyWhoosh routes yet anyone?). The created route will replicate the bends and gradients and recognise buildings and trees (although obviously it doesn’t distinguish architecture and tree type (yet)). So we have created a 10mile Tour de RickTerra course for a little bit of indoor training when the weather is bad … it is looped so you can do as many loops of Ricky (including the aquadrome) as you like. Biketerra is free so what are you waiting for, sign up now! TOUR de RICKTERRA ROUTE ON BIKETERRA HERE
