What’s a Time Trial?

A Time Trial is a race against the clock over a set distance on a set course.

You are not allowed any pacing from either vehicles or other riders. They have a certain purity in that you are racing against yourself (and the clock obviously). You are trying to be as good as you can and beat your personal best (PB). The quicker you get the higher you move up the results board, but you can still have a good race and result even if you aren’t high up in the results.

You can also compete for club standard medals, club trophies, or try and set a new club record.
