Now that South Yorkshire is entering the ‘Tier 3 Very High’ Covid alert level, the two Time Trial Leagues are to be concluded this month as…

“People should try to avoid travelling outside the ‘Very High’ alert level or entering a ‘Very High’ alert level area, other than for work, education or for caring responsibilities or to travel through as part of a longer journey.” This means that residents of South Yorkshire should try to avoid entering Derbyshire and vice versa.

This week’s TT race, the Tour de Bradfield Moors will conclude on Monday as planned and the Dark Peak Mountain Marathon will conclude at month end, also as planned. Quite a lot of folk have already run these events.

The Trigs & Monuments TT, which is to run from 2^nd to 8^th November and is wholly within Derbyshire and the Remembrance Race, which is on 11^th November with the route unspecified to date, have both been left in the Calendar but removed from the Time Trial leagues.

The 2020 Time Trial leagues will therefore conclude on 31^st October. It is hoped that the Covid regulations will have been relaxed sufficiently to allow a 2021 series to start in the new year.
