All are welcome at our club time trials: make sure you turn up in time to sign on. You'll need a mechanically sound bike and a bike helmet. We recommend the use of a rear light, especially in evening events. You need to be 12 or over to ride time trials. If you are under 18 you will need permission from a parent or guardian to take part (download a permission form in pdf format and in Word format). Each of our courses has a route description and a risk assessment. Make sure you have familiarised yourself with the course!
The event starts at 6.45pm, and entry is on the line at £4.00 (NBRC members), £6.00 (non-members). The meeting point is under the flyover midway between the start at the top of Brogborough Hill and the finish. We're limited to 40 riders for this event, so make sure to get there in good time to ensure a ride. If you're riding out to the event, please take care to bring lights for your ride home.

The Hardriders time trial scheduled for 30/3/19 has been cancelled. This was due to an error in Police notifications, and concerns around the safety of the course. This may come as a relief to those riders who might have dreaded racing up the Bow Brickhill climb twice in a single event!
Normal service resumes with the 10 mile time trial on the F15/10 (Brogborough) at 6.45pm on Wednesday 3rd April.
