Club 10 mile Time Trial – Road Bike Challenge
Date: Sunday 28 Feb 2016
Time: 10:00am
Location: Nomansland
This time trial is for people without a specific “time trial bike”. Extra points can be earned towards the Club’s annual points competition if you ride a non-aero road gear, ie no deep section wheels, tri bars, or pointy hats. You can still ride your time trial bike if you wish but the course is lumpy so there is little to gain. Even if you go faster than those riding road bikes you will be placed after them whatever your time.
Special Rules for this Event
For Sotonia riders wishing to gain extra points towards the Time Trial Points Competition bikes and equipment must conform to the following:
No Tri Bars.
No Pointy Hats.
Maximum rim depth 30mm
Bottle cage must be fitted to bike frame.
Entry Fee: Free to members of Sotonia CC; £3 to non-members
The starting time is 10am but make sure you arrive at the HQ in plenty of time to sign on and collect your number. Anyone under the age of 18 must bring along a completed Parental Consent Form.
