12 HOUR TIME TRIAL

Recommended Posts

The 1st words I ever uttered were "where is the nearest 12 hour time trial?"

 

& ever since that day, my 21st birthday, I have always fancied riding one.

 

Particularly if it went up and down the coast so I could use the The Bagel Basket

as a feed station.

 

Do they still exist?

 

I saw the scottish national time trial championships for 10, 25, 50, 100 and the BAR

posted on Braveheart and the BAR has a 12 hour "bit" to it so why no 12 hour

championship?

 

Has it just been omitted in error?

 

Does anyone/any club organise/promote on in Scotland?

 

Any info on this appreciated.

 

Cheers,

 

George.

Hi George,

 

Scotland used to have one until, a few years ago, Big Jim Cusick won it numerous times, (Wee Joe Wilson was the last winner i think) but it has not been run for some reason, probably traffic lights or new roads junctions on the course etc.

 

you will have to travel down south for a "12" somewhere nice and dry and probably warm.

 

i am sure the historians on the forum will give us all the actual dates and past winners on the scottish course soon enough.

 

hope this helps.

 

Cheers

Sean.

Hi Sean,

 

I think we should organise a club confined 12 hour championship then.

 

12 hours up and down the Georgetown or the westferry-the only flat roads round

here minus traffic lights :icon_hee-haw
