Course List Hill Climbs (Open and Club)

Risk Assessments (click on any of the links below to download a version of the RA)

CTT Risk Assessments are covered in Guidance Note 22, dated August 2018.  Futher advice on RAs for West District to provide some consistency of RA production and maintenance can be found here.

The new preferred RA Template for West DC is here.  Note that images of junctions should have the Google Street View (or equivalent) URL as a link.

Prior to your event you will need to check the RA date and update as necessary.  After your event you should confirm that no updates are needed to the Risk Assessement.  If an incident occurs during your event you should review the RA to determine if the RA requires amending in light of the incident.  Where you believe the RA is well out of date please update and send to the RA Secretary (Paul Winchcombe) for validation and re-upload.

Remember as organisers we must do everything reasonable and practical to ensure rider safety and the Risk Assessment is part of that responsibility.  As part of the RA process organisers must also complete an "On the Day RA" which identifies any additional risks (car boot sales, muddy road, road works without lights, etc).

For 2024 all RAs will need to be updated to include street view snapshots and links. The CTT website has been updated with courses and Risk Assessments for in use Open Courses and these are the source of "truth".

All RAs from old web site have been uploaded, so that we have a complete record of course numbers which have been used.  If you have a more recent RA or an RA for courses not shown here please submit to the RA Secretary for consideration.  Where a course is shown as "Defunct" it may still be used but the RA will need review, update and reapproval and in some cases the comments will show that the course cannot be recommissioned.

(Note: The CTT website does not accept .docx format files, they should be .doc or .pdf (but .pdf are not preferred as they cannot be easily updated.  In addition there is a file size limit for upload so embedded images should be kept to a mininum.  RA Sec holds Word Doc files and this is format to be submitted for subsequent upload.)

Where course have been updated by the RA Sec it is on the basis that he has raced those courses in the last 3 years and that he has good knowledge of the roads being used.

Following the CTT Board Note on 20mph restrictions please pay particular attention in your assessment to any 20mph speed restrictions as CTT have said courses with 20mph zones may only be used when a District has approved an exceptions on a case by case base.  Information needed for 20mph exceptions is:

a. Length of restriction.
b. Existence of pavements (means less likely that pedestrians will step into the road).
c. General width of road affected.
d. Is restriction in place due to a school which would not be in use during your event.
e. Gradient which might mean that riders would struggle to exceed 20 mph.
f. Population of area (is often given in Wikipedia for villages/hamlets).
g. Are there any shops, pubs, amenities which might mean there is pedestrian traffic.
h. Traffic count (some of our courses are less than 30 units per hour so the likelihood of cars holding riders and riders being tempted into dangerous riding is low)
i. Pedestrian count in 20mph zone.
j. Any other factors which you think reduce the risk of an incident on your course - how long as the 20mph been in place for example.

As organisers we must do everything reasonable and practical to ensure rider safety and the Risk Assessment is part of that responsibility.
