Wednesday Evening Club Time Trial Series 2010:
FIRST EVENT WEDNESDAY APRIL 7th
Organiser: Peter Rogers and Tim Reeves
This is a series of 22 events held on Wednesday evenings, starting at 18:45 with last sign on at 18:20. The series consists of a 10mile tt based on the UC21/10 course, slightly modified with a start on the A38 immediately adjacent to the Cross/Axbridge crossroads. This type of club event is a good introduction to racing as well as an ideal way to train for "open" events. This is also on a fast course improved for 2007 by significant recent resurfacing. While not a dual carriageway "drag strip" it will be the course to try for those keen on a PB. Prospective members as well as members of other established cycle clubs are made welcome. If you are new to cycle racing temporary membership can be arranged on the day. For the 2008 season we will be sharing the evening events with Somerset Road Club . On alternate weeks each club will host a club TT. To be able to ride you will have to be a member of a cycling club that is affiliated to CTT otherwise you will need to be a 2nd claim member of a cycling club that is CTT affiliated. Both clubs will allow just one ride before you have to join a CTT affiliated club. Entry fee is now £2.00 per person per event.
Each month the series is varied by a club sporting 19 on U253* and an annual club 25* on the UC252. And finally Burrington Combe Hill Climb UH26. * At time keepers discretion 10 mile course can be ridden providing 10 mile riders start first (sign on promptly please)
Parking and "sign on" for all but the last event is in the lay-by/picnic area on the right traveling east from the A38 on the A371 towards Cheddar above Axbridge. All our welcome.
The club strongly recommend the used of a hard shell helmet. Riders under 18 years of age MUST wear a hard shell helmet to comply with CTT rules - NO HELMET NO RIDE
All riders recognise that cycling is a potentially dangerous pastime and shall not hold the Weston Wheelers Cycling Club, it’s officers or officials responsible for any loss or injury incurred whilst participating in the club TT's.
All members will be entered on to a rota to help with the organising of the evening events, this could be for time keeping / pushing off.
