Beginners Guide to Time Trials

Posted on by Admin

TTs are a great part of training at threshold and above. It is you against the clock (you can also ride in a pair or team). The club TTs cover various distances at quiet times in the evening, with the courses signed and marshalled. The process is as follows:

1.Find a bike (any roadworthy bike will do with lights)

2.Turn up 30 minutes before start to sign on

3.Ride as hard as you can over the given distance

4.Repeat from 1 to improve your time or do it just to keep fit

Club Run to Shipdham

Journey to the Centre of Norfolk: Six Wheelers left Pretty Corner to collect one more at Heydon, but one was out only for a short morning lung-opener. The bunch pushed a strong SSW wind via Saxthorpe to Reepham, the valley of the Wensum, Elsing, Etling Green, Cutthroat Lane, Yaxham and the Thorpe Row lane to the King’s Cafe, formerly the King William pub (known locally as the ‘King Billy’). Refreshments were taken out of the wind in a large new gazebo that has appeared since the last time that any of the Wheelers visited. It was a pretty brisk tailwind-assisted ride back by way of Daffy Green, Scarning, under the A47 to Podmore ford and the hidden network of lanes through to Gressenhall. From here it was a relatively short route back, down the Blackwater, over to Billingford, Bintree and Foulsham to Hindolveston and the familiar roads back to Red Barn Lane.

Group: Brian; Graham A; Harvey; Jim; Mark; Neil S + Ian W (making his first appearance since 2019, but out only for a short morning expedition).

Distances: 52 miles to 80 miles.
