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

A full list of dates and routes are provided here https://nnwheelers.co.uk/time-trials/

To all members. You and your partner/friends are invited to our annual awards buffet which will be held at Upper Sheringham Village Hall on Saturday 26th February at 19:00.

This is an important event from a number of perspectives. Firstly, after two years of Covid it will be great to all get together again to relax and have a social evening. Also, after two years away, Chris Knowles is returning to Norfolk and will again take to the stage to make the presentation of the trophies. For those of you who have joined the club more recently, Chris is a stalwart and long-time Chairman of the club. So come along and welcome him home and have a good natter.

The club is partially subsidising the event, but we would like a contribution of £15 per person to cover an extensive buffet. If you bring along your own drinks we can enjoy a great evening (soft drinks and tea/coffee will be available). Could you let Mike Padfield (brizamedia@hotmail.com) know if you have any special dietary requirements. If you could confirm that you will be coming and make payment direct to the club account (North Norfolk Wheelers, sort code 09-01-29, acc no.19987590) using reference <buffet name>.

At Upper Sheringham Village Hall, Details and booking to follow next week!
