It is less than a month until the start of our evening Time Trial Series
The first event is on Tuesday 1 April. Start time is 6:30pm, so you need to be at the HQ, and signed on, by 6:15. The HQ will open at 5:45.
We have a new HQ for this season, for all the events. It is the Davis Hall in West Camel. It is located on Howell Hill, BA22 7QX. From there you can ride along the new road to the start, allow 5 minutes for the 5 course and a little more for the new 10 course.
The 10 course starts in the middle of RNAS Yeovilton, by the old Ward Room Gate. The course name is UC31 and if you go onto the CTT website you will find a course description as well as a full listing of our events.
We have two Come and Try It events at the start of the season, which are free for all to enter, you don’t even need to be a member of a cycling club. The 5 on 8th April and the 10 on 22nd April. So spread the word. Entry fees for the remaining events are the same as last year: £4 for YCC riders, £5 for other CTT affiliated clubs. 18s and under £3.50.
Riders aged 18 and under will have to have a parent/guardian with them for their first ride as they need to sign a Consent Form.
These events are run under CTT Rules and Regulations. You must have lights, front and rear, working whilst you are on the course. You will not be allowed to start without lights.
You don’t need a fancy TT bike, or even to be fast. Time Trialling is all about your personal goals. Watch your time improve or measure your performance against riders of a similar ability. Come along and give it a try.
