CTT regulations that competitors must be clothed from neck to at least mid thigh with mid upper arm length sleeves. In all events the official club clothing is permitted to be worn by first or second claim members of the club provided you wear the clothing of the club identified on you entry form. In all but club events, any clothing worn can only bear the name of the manufacturer or the club, any third party name or product is not permitted.

Having been passed at the 2003 CTT AGM, all riders under the age of 18 on January 1st have to wear an Approved Hardshell Helmet in all events promoted under CTT Regulations for that year. At this time, CTT do not enforce competitors over the age of 18 on January 1st to wear either hard or soft shell helmets. Soft shell helmets are used for aerodynamic purposes and offer little in the way of impact protection. It is strongly recommended that competitors wear a suitable quality hard shell helmet such as Giro, Met or Bell.
