2023 Time Trials

Hi Folks,

We’re running a slimmed-down schedule of club time trials for 2023, with the emphasis on having fun, friendly competition and introducing new people to time trialling. Newcomers are most welcome to take part in club TTs, as are guests from other clubs.

The 1st event will be a 20 mile TT on the K32 course starting from Shell Ford. We will then be moving to the 2nd Tuesday night of the month on the K36 10 mile course. This course is part of the normal Tuesday club run route and we hope that some of the Tuesday riders will come along and either support or take part.

The full program of events can be found on our Website Time Trial page

The traditional club handicap trophy will be awarded on the basis of a rider’s best four results out of six this year, with the two-up and hill climb events excluded.

The entry fee for a club time trial is £4.50, including the £3 Cycling Time Trials (CTT) levy. CTT regulations require that all riders have working rear (red) and front (white) lights and wear a helmet. Please aim to arrive at least 15 minutes before the event start time in order to sign on. We will send you further instructions after you’ve entered using Eventbrite.

If you’ve not given TTs a try before, we recommend reading this article on the website of the governing body, CTT (it’s from 2007, so some of the details are dated, but it gives a good idea of what to expect).

Please let me know if you need to know any more

Thanks

Simon Woodward

Great stuff, Simon. Thanks for all this.

Can I just ask: is the 20-mile event in April our Handicap Championship event for this year?

Hi George,
I'm still trying to finalise this.
Hopefully we'll be able to hold a further joint event on the K32/20 with Droitwich Cycling club later in the year, which will be our Handicap Championships.
I should know soon and will update the info on here as soon as I can.
