2017 Time Trial Series – Events List

Welcome to the BMC time trial series. Please note that the mid-week events are now on WEDNESDAYS, and have move from the Hampton area to Knowle/Chadwick End.

For 2017, 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 26 events. To make life interesting there are a few “different” events through the season:-

·          Signing-on for events is at the start.

·          All events use the K1 courses and the derivatives,

·          Event 2 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 17 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 1, 5, 11 and 20 are part of the “Brian Hession Trophy” as well as being part of the series. Please see the rules below.

·         Additionally (but not part of the series) there is the Tony Jones Memorial Open 25 on Sunday 9th July

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' or a '25'. The courses can be described as 'sporting'. For all the For the 10 mile events there is an alternative course listed in case of the dreaded roadworks somewhere.

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 here:- click here for K1 course details.

The results from the events can be found by clicking here: click here for 2017 results

The application form for 2015 can be downloaded in Excel format from here: 2017 Excel, or in PDF format:- 2017 pdf

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

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