Medium Gear 10 mile Time Trial Series 2012

The club will run a series of medium gear 10-mile time trials on Saturdays in February / March 2012. They will run on quiet country lanes, starting opposite the Lime Kiln public house at Cropwell Bishop - Course profile shown below.

The 10 mile Medium Gear Championship is the first competition of the year and is a true test of early season fitness, technique and finesse. They are held on the quiet lanes of the club "sporting" course, starting at the Lime Kiln Inn, Cropwell Bishop. The best three times win the Club trophy.

A medium gear TT is ridden in a 72inch gear (or lower), with no changing allowed. However, you don't have to ride the events as Medium Gear and can use all of your gears if you like but if you do, remember to inform the timekeeper and your time will be recorded as a private time and won't be counted towards the Championship. It's good fun, social and great training for the season ahead.

Non-club members welcome to record private times (do not count towards overall Series). 3rd party insurance - e.g. BCF or CTC - is required to compete in our events on the public highway. To ride a private trial you need to be a member of a club that is affiliated to CTT.

There is a gear chart here on Sheldon Brown's website which can help you calculate your closest gear.
