What's a 2UP TT? It's a team TT with teams of 2 riders, the emphasis is on fun and there's no need to have any knowledge or experience of Time Trialling. Only road bikes are allowed and all you will require is a helmet and working front and rear lights. We will be using the K36/10 course near Earlsw...

I'll start at the BH. My pace might be a bit slow for a B but I'll catch you up at the stops.

Ade, Looking on Google Maps it looks like Walsall Arboretum has several entances, but I haven't spotted anything that tells me which entrance to use. Could you let me know which entrance to use? Also, is there going to be any food available on site, and if so what? Thanks Ade, I am willing to help....
