Club TT

July 14 – Club annual TT

Could all ride groups plan their routes around being at Rabbit Hill, Arkendale at around 10 .30 please this will accommodate those who want to join in or alternatively support those having a go. The start time of 11am will give opportunity for a group “warm up” ride prior to the event, there’s a cafe at Rabbit Hill so please plan your coffee stop there.

11am. 5ml “Fun” event. From Rabbit Hill to the Walshford roundabout.
Think “Park Run” – happy rivalry between friends. Set your Personal Best and next year compare your improvement!?

After the 5ml fun riders have all started we’ll get the 10ml event started, down to Walshford turn and back – “the race of truth” rider and machine against the clock.

Probably a little more serious, but again based around “friendly rivalry”? Have we got a Steady or Medium rider who can challenge the fast lads and girls? Who is the fastest club member? Who will be the fastest female? There’s only one way to find out – – – RIDE!

Please Note – No warm up rides on the course after 10.30, No Tri bars, aero helmets, TT bikes just normal road bikes – flat bars fine. Each rider will pay £4 ( this covers the compulsory race insurance).
If you have a rear flashing light please use it. See you there

Just one more thing we will need about 5 volunteers for timings and marshalling.

Weather forecast looks OK for Sunday – so how about a trip to Masham, after a few weeks of flat rides this would make a change. Should be hilly on the way out and pretty flat on the way back. https://cycle.travel/map/journey/110278 About 48 sunny miles

Cafe stop in Masham at Johnny Baghdad’s or wherever we can get a seat.

See you there!
