2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted March 3, 2020 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 It's the start of the Confined Event TT series, on Sunday 8th March. This is the first trophy of the season up for grabs to the fastest rider on the day, won last year by Marc Kelly in a ripping time of 27.31. 2 laps of a hilly route with some challenging turns and a terrific descent, all in the small ring. An excellent introduction to time trialling for beginners, as well as a decent warm up for the more experienced. In keeping with the spirit of restricted gears, only those riding road bikes will be considered eligible for the trophy, i.e. no TT bikes, skinsuits or pointy hats please. The jets will also be welcome to ride in this first competitive confined event of the season. There will be a short ride down to Castle Semple after the run for tea and scones, for all the athletes. As normal, there will be a £3 entry fee, payable on the day, the proceeds going towards the costs of the awards at the end of the season. The course: http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/651582320 Please note that the start point has been moved to the duck pond where parking is better and traffic is slower. This should make the start a little safer for everyone. Meet at the start at 10:00 ready for first rider off at 10:15. I will timekeep, but I need a willing volunteer to hold. I will post the Risk Assessment on Friday. As usual, the weather conditions will be assessed on Saturday, but the forecast is not horrible for this weekend, so I have every expectation that the event will take place. Post up if you're coming.

2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted March 7, 2020 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 Fair question. Are there many of the Jets coming along? If we're only going to have 2 (maybe) riders, it's not worth doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions thejanullrichdietplan Posted March 7, 2020 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 I was going to do the Renfrew bunch but to make up the numbers can do this then do the bunch route in reverse and pick them up on way back A lot of the Jets might be at the track, i think Sundays are when they have the race training stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for organising Alan. Not done that for a long while, but it didn't take long to remember why I don't like time trials.
