Club
Time Trials Beacon
RCC organises a full programme of club time trials every year. These include a
hill climb (a short uphill effort), hilly events on up-and-down courses and flatter
ten-mile and twenty-mile events. Most club TTs take place on Wednesday evenings,
but a few are on Saturday afternoons and one (the hill climb) is on a Sunday morning.
Some of the events are designated as 'club championships'. The winners of these
events (on absolute time) are crowned 'club champions' at the relevant distances,
and receive trophies at the annual dinner towards the end of the year. If you
ride club TTs regularly, you can also challenge for the season-long handicap
trophy.
Newcomers are welcome to take part in club TTs, as are guests
who belong to other CTT-affiliated clubs. A signed parental
consent form is required for any entrant who is under the age of 18. You will
need to abide by the normal rules of the road and by CTT
regulations. You will also need to be familiar with the course, because there
are no direction signs or marshals, so please refer to our TT
Course descriptions. If you are new to time trialling, or you are unclear
about the distinction between a club event and an open event, please refer to
our Information for New Time Trialists. Beacon
RCC members often compete in other clubs' events; more information is provided
