25 mile Club championship Time Trial on U72

See club website for course information. Late notices and changes before events will also appear on Facebook.

From the CTT:
As most will be aware, the government has announced that England will move to the final stage of easing Covid restrictions on 19 July 2021. This means almost all legal restrictions on social contact will be removed. So far as time trials are concerned, the practical changes will affect event HQs (with result boards etc) and the ‘pusher off’.
The CTT Covid-19 risk assessment has been amended to reflect these changes. The amended risk assessment is on the CTT website under the COVID-19 tab on the homepage. www.cyclingtimetrials.org.uk/documents/index/covid-19
Despite this, the Club encourages riders to maintain social distancing and wear masks indoors. A checklist of our recommendations for participants, timekeepers, and organizers is available HERE
Please remember:
The threat of Covid-19 and the risk of infection does still remain. If you are not well or showing signs of Covid-19 then please do not attend at any CTT event.
If a person is unable to time keep / organize it is their responsibility to swap duties and inform the Racing Secretary.
Full season’s race calendar is available here

Evening Social Ride
2016-10-11 19:00 - 21:00 | King’s Square, 28 Oxebode, Gloucester, Gloucestershire, GL1 1AD, United Kingdom
Ride out beginning at King’s Square and ending at the Gala Club or The Pelican, to be decided on the night

Chain Gang
2021-04-14 18:30 - 20:00 | Longford Hand Car Wash, Longford,, Gloucester, GL2 9BN, United Kingdom
An early evening chain gang ride for members only on roads North of Gloucester. Although the aim is to get back before dusk please ensure that you have lights when needed. Early season rides will cut across the river Severn at Haw Bridge and return via Ashleworth. As the evenings lengthen a longer route on the A38 to Tewkesbury, A438, B4211 and A417 will be used. The shorter route will also be used for a ladies’ chain gang that will leave after the men’s group.
It’s a full on fast ride for 23 miles from Longford to Tewkesbury & back to Maisemore via Corse Lawn designed for riders capable of keeping up with serious amateurs for 20+ miles. Groups will split into different abilities as required but if you drop off you must be able and willing to find your own way home. Watch the video here.
British Cycling has advised that organized groups of fifteen are permitted under the Government’s regulations, but the Committee considers this too many to ride together on open roads, not least because of the obstruction it could cause to motor traffic. Instead, we shall ride in smaller groups, the size and composition of which will be decided by the ride leaders at the meeting point. At the meeting point, and any stops along the route, guidelines on social distancing will still apply so please do not approach other riders too closely.
Note that although this is race training the rules of the road still apply. Be courteous to other road users and ease the pace when going through built up areas. Remember:

It’s not a race, it’s training
Try and keep it to groups of no more than eight, even if it means three groups
Everyone should work together but ride through smoothly and ease off when you come off the front
Set off at two minute intervals and make sure each group waits for everyone in the group to get across the first roundabout
Don’t start the chain until past Twigworth
It’s for members only
Ease up through Tewkesbury town and when you meet the A417 at Corse
Have fun and be safe
