Getting Started
TIME trials are your chance to drive yourself to your physical limits and see where it takes you. Its just you, your bike, a set distance and a ticking clock - prepair yourself
for the ultimate personal challenge.
This is the simplest form of racing. Riders start one minute apart, with the objective of covering the distance as fast as they can.
Time trials usually run over 10, 25, 50 or 100 miles. Time trial courses are usually on public roads and usually take place early in the morning to avoid traffic. Expect either an ‘out and back’ with
a roundabout halfway, or a circuit with left-hand turns.
With TT it's all about beating your personal best and whether that challenge takes place over 10 or 100 milesis up to
you. You can of course compare yourself to others, and to make that fairer, there are different age categories, and handicapping, to level the playing field.
CS Dynamos have a healthy group of time trialists and organise various events throughout the season. If you are keen to try time
trialing for the first time then you will be in good company as there are always members at CS Dynamo who are keen beginners and some experienced time trialists who will give you every
support.
You don’t need a race license for this type of racing, though you will need to enter open events a couple of weeks
before they are run. Information is available from by clicking on the logo below
