About Time Trialling

Sometimes thought of as the purest form of cycle sport. Time trialling involves racing a set distance in the lowest possible time. It's you against the clock. Distances vary depending on the event.

Standard races are held over 10, 25, 50 and 100 miles. Beyond this the measure changes to trying to cover the most miles in a set time. Events are then held over 12 and even 24 hours. Events are also held over other distances.

Any bike is fine to start on as you will have a personal target to try to beat next week. There are several local evening club events that you may enter on the night..

With a bit more experience Open events can be attempted. These have to be entered in advance, at least 2 weeks before the event. They are listed in the Cycling Time Trials handbook or on their website.
