Time Trialing with Swindon RC
Time Trialling is a popular way for cyclists to take part in competitive road events.
A time trial involves each rider starting at one minute intervals to complete a defined course or circuit with the winner being the rider who completes the course in the fastest time. The event is all about individual performance and no drafting behind other riders is allowed.
The easiest way to participate in time trialling is to join in on the regular club 10 mile TT races held on a circuit near Ashton Keynes every Thursday during the summer months.
