2012 Series – Approved List
For 2012, the time trial series will use roughly the same format as recent years but with some interesting twists thrown in. There will be a total of 38 events, all of which count for points. To make life interesting Pete DeGaffa has chucked in a few “different” events through the season:-
· Event 1 is ‘Peachy’s Ball Breaker’ with a max gear of 72” – fixed or free. You can ride using unlimited gearing, but you won’t get any points. Simples.
· Events 25 and 26 will be both a double header as well as “Old School” races – road bikes only, none of this aero-kit malarkey. DeGaffa says – no TT bikes, no tri-bars, no disc wheels or deep-dish rims, and definitely no pointy hats or pixie boots. You can ride your TT bike but you won’t get any points.
· The 5, 15 and 25 mile events will be
on new versions of the previous courses, now called
K28.
· TMR is proud to, again, host a round
of the West Midland Ladies Series – event 14 (Note: due to flooding this is now
event 29)
· Seven of the counting events will be open races organised by local clubs in the region
· Last counting event will be the ‘Open 10’ at the end of the season
TMR events will be Thursday evening '10's right through the season and there will be various Sunday events per month, alternating between a '15.5' or a '25'. The courses can be described as 'sporting'.
Riders are allocated into one of four groupings based on previous form. Points are awarded for position relative to those in the same group with 20 points for first, 19 for second etc. Within each group there’s also a BAR competition.
Additionally, there’s a points league for all vets against the VTTA Standards. Top twenty scores to count for each league.
Again, we’ll have a Handicap league. Rider’s best times during the last three seasons over the three TMR courses will become their personal bogey time for that distance. Similarly to Vets we’ll work out plussages and allocate points. Again, best twenty scores to count.
Details of the courses can be found on the MidlandDC website, or download the information click here for K26/K28 courses.

application form for 2012 can be downloaded in Excel format from here:- (sorry, link now
closed) Note the changes in fees from last year. This is due solely to a
100% increase in club event levies that the CTT have imposed - it’s nothing to
do with TMR.
