The event website says "Promoted for, and on behalf of, Cycling Time Trials, under their Rules & Regulations". However, like Rob3rt I can't see it anywhere on the CTT calendar.
Also, I can't see a start time anywhere on either the flyer or the website. This is important as it's on a Thursday so I need to know whether I can get there from work!
The CTT course is the V9916 and is 4.8 miles long. There are two events on there this year, on July 1st and October 19th. The official hillclimbs up there are usually complete crackers. My PB's 17:31 if anyone fancies beating it. Unfortunately I'll miss the summer event this year so I'd be really interested in this thing, if only there were some more information available.
@Bayerd I have to hold my hands up and admit that I have jumped the gun here. I didn't get as far as the website, well I did click the link, but was taken to a search page rather than the event page and then being on a mobile, couldn't be bothered with the tedium of searching etc. I therefore commented without being fully informed. My error.
It turns out that it is a come and try it event run under the CTT and therefore is well worth supporting as it is an initiative the CTT have made to encourage more people into the sport. I still think the £12 entry is quite high vs normal CTT entries (exluding National Championships, entry is usually £6-10, with only really high demand events on fast courses charging the upper limit), but maybe this typical of come and try it events for some legitimate reason?
BTW,
@Mr Bunbury, thats a good time, I can't remember my exact time up there, it was a short 19 though (which was good for 5th in the open HC). Weather was appaling (headwind all the way up and driving rain) that day,
@ColinJ turned out that day to support! I am looking forward to seeing what I can do on a good day (I
think the summer open on there last year was a super fast day and the course record was smashed), although I quite like the bad conditions. James Gullen and Richard Handley were well off the course record in the Autumn event when I raced!
I confess that my time was done on that really fast day last year: there was a rare northerly blowing riders up the climb. The course record was dropped by about 45 seconds, which was the same as the amount by which I improved on my previous time up there!
