Time Trials (TTs) can really provide that extra bit of ‘intensity’ to boost your training and riding the same course over a season gives a very good way of judging fitness. This Q&A applies to the club events, normally held on a Tuesday evening through the summer, not Open TTs. Club events can be entered on the line, whilst Open events are by prior entry only – no entry on the line. For people wanting to enter Open events, we suggest that you buy a copy of the CTT Handbook here. There may have some available for members, so ask at the club night on Wednesdays. The London West District (www.lwdc.co.uk) have a very useful event calendar, and also have a handbook for bedtime reading. Continue reading Frequently Asked Questions on Timetrialling
The time trial, or ‘TT’, is often a first step into competitive road cycling. Competitors, individuals or teams, set off at intervals and are timed over a fixed distance course. A time trial can be test of a rider’s ability to beat earlier personal bests, or effectively a race in which riders compare their performances to others. There are few tactics; in a time trial you ride against the watch – with no one to slipstream or set the pace. High Wycombe Cycling Club has always had a broad reach covering a myriad of different cycling activities ranging from casual cycling at all times of the week, weekend club runs with the occasional café stop, competitive time trials, road racing, mountain biking, track cycling, the crazy Audax riders covering 1200km in one-go, not to mention professional cyclists like David Millar! Its traditional values are embedded throughout the club and all 180 members pride themselves in taking part in a range of cycling activities, whether at international level or just for fun. |
