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 TT events on Tuesday evenings throughout the racing season, on a variety of courses. To ride the Tuesday club events, as a racing member of the club, simply turn up on the night in good time, sign on and ride. Under Cycling Time Trials regulations non-club members may ride a nominated event as a "Come and Try It" event

The club also promotes several Open Time Trials. For Open events organised by any club, you need to complete a Cycling Time Trials entry form and submit it to the organiser with the entry fee by 6pm on the Tuesday 10 to 13 days prior to the event for those held Friday to Monday. 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 attached below and send it to the Time Trial Secretary before 1st November.

Also attached below is a list of all the Time Trial Trophies and Awards (updated for 2010)
