Race day sign-on

ATTACHING A TIMING TRANSPONDER
We use chip timing to produce results. Your chip must be attached correctly to guarantee that you will get a time and placing.
  • Use cable ties to securely fasten the transponder ​at the bottom of either fork.
  • Be careful not to wrap cable ties through spokes.
  • If it is higher on the fork, in your pocket, or on the handlebar, you may not get a reading.
  • Cut off excess cable tie for neatness and to prevent interference with spokes
​
NUMBER PLACEMENT
  • Numbers must be pinned on your back at the bottom of your shirt
  • If placed higher they cannot be read by officials and you may be penalised
At the sign-on desk, you sign your name to confirm your attendance, pay any outstanding fees if necessary and collect a timing transponder and number. Please return BOTH at the end of your race.
​
TO MAKE EVERYTHING WORK SMOOTHLY
  • Know your race number by checking the startlist
  • Collect your own number and timing chip
  • Have your QCF licence or photo ID ready as deposit for your timing chip
