Time Trials

Firstly, apologies if this is in the wrong thread - can't seem to find one on TTs. Mods please move if I've missed it!

I doofed up to my local TT course in Chelford today just to check out where it is. I didn't realise there would actually be a TT in full swing! It was great to watch all the cool bikes and kit and to see the very wide age range! There were also quite a few guys in full British Cycling kit/Pinarello bikes doing their thing. Here is one guy at the turn:

Anyhow, I would love to have a go one day when I am fit enough to do anything vaguely like a respectable time. I checked it out on the CTT website on the advice of someone who was there supporting the riders. Have done so - turns out it was the Withington Wheelers 10. I don't understand the Start Sheet that well though - see below. What do "N1", "N2" and the entries in those columns mean? Is "V" for Veteran, "J" for Junior, "Tan" for Tandem?

Good to see your becoming interested!

I think the 'N' Columns are just spreadsheet Headers, as there is no consistency to make them categories.

The N1 and N2 maybe just mean note 1 and note 2. People appear to be writting their age category and a previous time so the organiser can put people into a reasonable order for the race, slowest out 1st, fastest out last.

Doh ok thanks

N1 is category. N2 is Veteran standard time.

The 10 from Chelford is the J2/1 course. Seems to be a popular course with a lot of the local clubs. I beleive the course record is sub 20:00.

Ridden that course loads over the years. Not bad, but it certainly is no drag strip.
