You are on - Road Bike League

ROAD BIKE LEAGUE DETAILS

This is an “All Comers” league so it's open to all riders, members and non-members alike. 

There are 13 events with the average of your best 3 rides on the K10/10 and best one K12/10 counting, the full details are listed below.

The league is an integral part of our time trial events so riders will not be separated from the normal field. It’s your choice whether to ride as a ‘roadie’ that evening.

One of the objectives of this league is to encourage new rider to compete in time trials so “Newbies” are very welcome, there is information about how to ride your first time trial in our introductory guide .

 

 The League Details

Who can compete:

  • “All-Comers” so anybody (12 years and older) can enter.

  • Riders who are not a member of a CTT affiliated club can ride one event on a ‘come and try it' basis but CTT rules state that you must join an affiliated club before your second ride.

  • Riders 18 years or less must have a consent form signed by a parent or guardian, the form can be downloaded here

  • Non Coventry RC members just come along and enter as a private.

  • To signify that you are entering the Road Bike League you must put the letter R in the appropriate column on the sign-on sheet, if this is omitted, your time will not be entered onto the table and unfortunately it cannot be amended after the event.
