2016 Time Trial Series – Approved List

Welcome to the BMC time trial series. Please note that the mid-week events are now on WEDNESDAYS.

For 2016, the time trial series will follow the tried and tested BMC/TMR schedule, with the usual interesting twists thrown in. There will be a total of 30 events. To make life interesting there are a few “different” events through the season:-

·          Signing-on for events is at the HQ (Hampton Sports Centre). This will close 15 mins before start time. Due to space constraints at the start there will be NO signing-on at the start line.

·          All events use the K28 courses, thus avoiding the additional administrative overload of starting at Stonebridge (which comes under Warwickshire). This ‘10’ course starts in Cornets End Lane and avoids the Meriden Mile totally.

·          Event 3 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.

·          Event 14 is ‘Road Bikes only’ - none of this aero-kit malarkey. 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.

·          Events 20 and 21 are a Sunday double header.

BMC events will be Wednesday 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'. For all the Sunday 15.5 and 25 mile events (except for the double header) there is an alternative of running a ‘10’ in case the dreaded roadworks return to Hampton high street.

Riders are allocated into one of three 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 fifteen 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 BMC/TMR courses will become their personal bogey time for that distance. Similarly to Vets we’ll work out plussages and allocate points. Again, best fifteen scores to count.

Details of the courses can be found on the MidlandDC website, or download the information click here for K28 courses.

The results from the events can be found by clicking here: click here for 2016 results

The application form for 2015 can be downloaded in Excel format from here:

Clubrooms:- For all events we’ll use the Sports Centre on Shadowbrook Lane.

Please note that, due to constraints on numbers The Management have to reserve the right to restrict private trials.

Also, for safety reasons please DO NOT park in the layby between Hampton island and the farm/bridge on Wednesday evenings. Instead, please park at the Tennis/Sports Centre.

There are some important safety notices at the bottom of this page. Please take the time to read and inwardly digest.
