The club runs an evening series of time trials each season. It starts with a 10km opener, followed by a series of evening 10-mile time trials, and finishes with the traditional end-of-season Hill Climb on Portchester Lane.
Season-long categories run according to the type of bike used (road or TT), whether you are male or female, and your age group (junior, senior or veteran). Your best seven results across the season count.
We try to foresee as many problems as possible, and we have alternative courses in place in case of roadworks or other unexpected problems. We still haven’t managed to gain control over the weather, but we do our best to run the full programme.
Dates, entry and fees
[Details of the new season’s programme, how to enter, entry fees and the event headquarters will be added here by the Time Trial Organiser. In the meantime, please get in touch with the Time Trial Organiser or any committee member.]
Helpers needed
To run these events we need a team of timekeepers and helpers. Each event typically needs 2 or 3 timekeepers, a sign-on and results person, a scrutineer/marshal, a pusher, a number caller and an additional marshal. We have a dedicated team of regular helpers, but we are always looking for more, and help will be given to anyone taking on a role.
We would especially ask any racing or ex-racing members who are not currently competing to put something back into such a rewarding sport, and help the next generation of riders benefit from your experience.
If you can help, please get in touch with the Time Trial Organiser or any committee member.
Come and give it a go
Please come and try time trialling. You may even enjoy it. Club evening events are a good introduction to this side of cycling, and you will be encouraged and supported by like-minded members.
