Club 10 Evening Time Trial Series 2010

Overall Handicap series Winner for 2009 was Ian Pickering.

 

The evening time trials are held on the same course each Thursday evening throughout the summer months. Organisation for the time trials is shared between Corinium Cycling Club and Swindon Road Club.

 

The event HQ for registering and post race results is the Bradstone Sports Ground, Ashton Keynes. http://tiny.cc/qgrem 

A map of the course is also shown below.
 
The time trial course is flat with the only 'hill' being the roundabout flyover over the A419. Course record is a low 22 minutes.

A considerable amount of effort is invested by the respective organising clubs to make these events happen, in return, members and riders are requested to contribute their part to the process to ensure to the safe continuation of these events.

 

As well as the normal Club series and the Interclub Event an interclub series handicap will be calculated for the 2010 series. (You will be riding against ALL the SRC and CCC riders for this one!). Rules to be published.

Finally, in addition to the normal CTT rules under which these events are run your attention is drawn to the following points;

 

1.Fees for 2010 are £3:00 per rider for SRC and CCC members. Guests are £4:50 but they must provide proof that their clubs are CTT (RTTC) affiliated if they do not appear in the Handbook.

 

2. Signing On. Riders should register between 45 and 30 minutes before the start time. It takes approximately 10 minutes to cycle from the HQ to the Start Guest riders will not be allowed to sign on until 35 minutes before start time and also subject to the below ruling re: Timekeepers, so you have a 20 minute slot for signing on

Upon signing on, entrants must review the current Risk Assessment for the evening. Race numbers will only be given to entrants at the Club House where the Risk Assessment is displayed. Timekeepers will move off 15mins before start time and NO FURTHER ENTRIES WILL BE ALLOWED.

 

3.Limited Numbers. On evenings where the number of participants is limited by the organizer, priority will go to SRC and CCC members.

 

4.Phone pre-booking of race numbers for Thursday 10 TT series events will only be allowed for appropriate valid reasons. No pre-booking (unless by prior agreement) will be before 1pm on the day of the event. Entrants who pre-book numbers must pay the entry fee in the event that they do not ride. The time trial series organiser for Swindon RC is Nick Lowe and for Corinium CC is Graham Hughes. The contact number for the 2010 series is 07733 158383

 

5.New Time-Keepers will be in training during the 2010 season. Entrants are requested not to use the course as a warm-up circuit where they will cross the finish line 10 minutes (or later) after the start time of the event, which may add to confusion of the time-keeping role. The recommended route to the start is to use the Spine Road. Riders should be wary of the time they enter the course while the event is in progress if using the Cerney Wick route.

 

6.Route back to HQ. The recommended route back to the HQ after completing the event is to continue after the finish back down the Spine Road. (This minimises U-turns on the course).

 

7.Road Etiquette. Riders must be mindful of other road users at all time, especially at the start and finish of the course. The road to Driffield past the start point of the course must be kept clear for motorists and unimpeded by the tendency for cyclists to bunch together whilst waiting.

 

8.Handicap Series. Members wishing to qualify for the respective Clubs ’ series must contribute to the Clubs’ help rosters for the requisite number of events.

 

9.Helmets. It is strongly recommended that safety Helmets are worn for all the events (Compulsory for Youth/Juniors).

 

10.Youth/Junior riders may ride these events if 13 or older as at 31st August 2010.

 

11.Underage Riders. An adult must accompany riders below the qualifying age above, on the course.

Notes

Note 2 This is the usual annual 2-Up TT event but may be ridden a an individual

Note 3 Owing to the 1st Thursday falling on 1st April 2010 (also being the Thursday before Good Friday), this gives 22 evenings to run an event during the year.

For 2010 it has been decided to run the 1st event as a ‘Prologue’. This will be run as one circuit of the U48 course with the start and finish position being in the same place as the ‘10’(exact length t.b.c.) This is to enable more riders on the evening to ride as well as trying something different. This event will not count towards the respective Club ‘Series’. If popular, this opener may be taken forward to 2011.

Note 4 New for 2010 will be that all Thursday event with an 18:45 start time will require a compulsory rear light for participants. This follows the trend in many clubs that enforce this rule for all events. Please do not put pressure on the organizer to circumvent this as it will be a ‘no light – no ride ’ policy for the benefit of all.

Note 5 Interclub event. This will be the annual interclub competition with Swindon-R.C riding off against Corinium C.C. for the ‘Winner takes all Interclub Trophy’.

Note 6 Come and Try a TT. As responsible Cycling Clubs we would like to promote access to all cyclist to come and have ago at a Time Trial, a traditional entry point for competitive cycling. If you have friends/colleagues who have wondered what it is all about but are too daunted to come on a usual Thursday evening event, then this is the one to talk them into trying. This event will not count toward the respective Club ‘Series’. It is not compulsory to be a member of a CTT affiliated club to ride this event.
