Time Trial / Time Trialling / TT

In the age of Instagram I don’t think I’ve ever seen a photographer at a tt

My experience is that there's often a photographer, you just can't find the pictures afterwards

I've photographed Hounslow events for many years. You can usually find my reports and pictures on VeloUK.

I believe VeloUK could be a more valuable asset to time trialling if it were better used. Most events just have a bare result with virtually no report. Organisers really should make an effort to get a report done - this does take some effort, especially if you haven't done it before, but it's a skill that practice makes easier.

Time trialling in the past could never have achieved the popularity it had without the publicity it used to get in Cycling ( plus Coureur and The Bicycle). The opportunity exists today to get reports published, it's up to people who want to see the sport to continue to make the necessary effort.

Of course this is not the only thing that needs to be done, but it could be a useful step.

I'm not a professional journalist, but if anyone here wants the benefit of the experience I've had over the past twenty years - pm me.
