Where can we view the courses?

hi jerry, if you click on my website (link on my signature attached to every post - trigwill.webs) then navigate to the routes page, there you will find .gpx files you can download and use as courses in a garmin etc.

You can also go to the cycling time trial website and print off maps if unable to use .gpx files

I did list them on this forum but that was a while ago so moved them to my website

hope that helps?

I have resurrected the .gpx page in this time-trials section

Do I need any form of licence to do these, or can I just turn up and sign on?

I have entered the ...a3crg 10 TT on Sat 25th Feb course is P886. Funny start time 14.30? It's my first one, gulp!

You can get all the TT events from ctt.org.uk

Good luck

Mark

Hi Charlie, if it's a local 'club' ride e.g. a Thursday evening club race organised by PNECC or Fareham Wheelers, you turn up at the indicated 'HQ' (sometimes a community centre or car park) sign-on; pay a fee of a few pounds; get a race number and that indicates your position for starting. No licence required. The number goes on your jersey so it is visible when you're on the drops from behind. The start point may be a short ride from the HQ so ensure you turn-up early enough to ride out to it (and ensure you warm up prior to your start time too!).

You need to be familiar with the local courses (hence the gpx files listed to help you 'learn' the route). PNECC sometimes get marshalls if we have enough volunteers, FW often have marshalls, nevertheless you need to know the route for your own safety really.

For non-club events e.g. CTT South events you need to enter about 2 weeks prior to the start or observe the closing date. The easiest way is to contact the TT Secretary (Sheila Martin) and the form will be completed and sent off in time - these do not have on-the-line (on the day) entries normally. Club colours also will be worn. It doesn't hurt to take a look at the CTT website http://www.southdc.org.uk/ is our regional part of the CTT organisation. Often for CTT/PTTS (local club's series of races) PNECC will try and incorporate the route in a Sunday club ride or similar - keep your eye on the forum.

As a 16 year-old you will be classified as Junior (16-18)

Hope that helps. Remember you don't need a fancy bike, something road-worthy and safe. You will see some 'machines' there but remember primarily you're racing yourself against the clock, and of course enjoying yourself.

Hi Dave,
Am i missing something, but when i look at the links to the TT courses they are not shown on the map?

No, I think it may be a glitch with MapMyRide Classic, but if you click on 'view full screen' (top right of the summary map) the route and map appear.

Cheers Dave, good work!!
Dont suppose you have the details of the P843 course do you? Or maybe Nick.A knows?

Ignore last post, just found the details on the Hants RC site!

Links can also be found here but only as a rough map and description
