The North Bucks Road Club Time Trial League
John Smith Memorial Series
The Club is delighted to announce the resumption of our Club TT League. We will start with the event on 14th April, and we are making changes to how we manage our events to ensure we are compliant with CTT guidance. Entries will be required in advance of the event, with payment online.
Coronavirus precautions: We will provide detailed guidance on how we plan to organise this event to ensure that riders and officials are protected. NBRC Coronavirus Precautions
New CTT Regulations: All competitors must have a functional rear light on their bicycle. No light, no ride. This regulation would have been in force for 2020, but we cancelled our events due to the pandemic!
All are welcome at our club time trials: make sure you turn up in time to collect your number (entries will be made online). You'll need a mechanically sound bike and a bike helmet. A working rear light is now required by CTT regulations. You need to be 12 or over to ride time trials. If you are under 18 you will need permission from a parent or guardian to take part (download a permission form in pdf format and in Word format).
Each of our courses has a route description and a risk assessment. Make sure you have familiarised yourself with the course!

From indoors it looked like a lovely evening, but out there that blustery wind seemed rather cold to me! The roadworks in Chicheley weren't in evidence, so we used the regular version of the Astwood course. Some fine performances - congratulations to Gavin (once again!) for the win, and to Jez who took first place on vet standard. It was certainly good to race on the Astwood course again after the long coronavirus break.
Next week, we are on the Brogborough course.
