The first of the 2012 NBRC club time trials is upon us! The opening event of the series is on 10th March and will be held on the familiar Astwood course, kicking off at 9am. This event is nominally a 72" medium gear event, and gears will be checked for those riders riding the medium gear event. For most of the rest of use, a regular geared event will also take place.
Entry is on the line, £2.50 for members, £3.00 for non-members*. Astwood Hall has not been hired, so the meeting place will be the usual parking area. My first open event is the following day and in South Wales (the Port Talbot Wheelers 2-up '25'), so I'll be away all weekend. Results may therefore not be posted to the website until Monday 12th. But I am sure you can all cope (results can of course be discussed in the NBRC forums).
* 2012 entry fees for the 2012 series have been increased from £1.50/£2.00 as a consequence of the increase in CTT levies to £2.00 per rider in each event.

A special word of thanks to Rob Chaundy for collecting up the TT cycle event warning notices after the event had finished, and Luke Marshall for assisting at the start and finish.
And of course many thanks to the timekeepers for the event: Steph Cousins and Tony Farmborough, and to Gilbert Wheelwright for pushing off. NBRC riders were outnumbered by officials this week!
