Time Trials
Time Trialling is a popular form of cycle racing in the UK. Riders start individually and are timed over a set distance. The majority of events are 10 and 25 miles, but there are also 50 and 100 mile events, hillclimbs, and sporting events which tend to be on hillier courses with no typical distance. The winner of a Time Trial is the rider with the fastest time, and there are usually also team and age-related prizes.
Reading CC organises a large number of club events on Tuesday evenings throughout the racing season, on a variety of courses. The club also promotes several Open Time Trials.
Under Cycling Time Trials regulations non-club members may ride a nominated event as a "Come and Try It" event. For Open events you need to complete a Cycling Time Trials entry form and submit it to the organiser with the entry fee at least 10 days before the event. You can download a form from their website: http://www.ctt.org.uk
At the end of the season all club members wishing to claim trophies or awards are required to submit an application. Download the form and send it to the Time Trial Secretary before 1st November: Time Trial Award Claim Form
