We kick off the 2020 club time trial series with our opening event on the Astwood course using the version starting in Astwood, on Saturday 21st March, starting at 10am. Entry is £4.00 for members, £6.00 for non-members.

We've published the NBRC Club Time Trial Calendar.
Owing to problems with weather affecting our early season events in the last few years, our TT events don't start until 21st March this year.
Also new for 2020 is a new regulation which concerns the requirement for a working rear light to be fitted. This regulation is to be enforced for Club events as well as Open events. The CTT have published a Guidance Note to explain how this will be enforced - essentially any rider without a functioning rear light will not be permitted to start.

Rear Lights in Time Trials
At the recent CTT annual general meeting, a resolution making rear lights compulsory in all time trials was passed. Following some discussion around the implementation of this rule, CTT have clarified that this rule will not be enforced in events held over the Christmas and New Year period. CTT will issue further guidance for the remaining events in 2020.
Nevertheless, the club recommends the use of a properly functional rear light while racing.
