Time Trial / Time Trialling / TT

is it necessary or is it fairing?

That's why I'd put a number to it and leave your question to the philosophers. I think the number is somewhere in the vicinity of 100cm² for the total red area, similar rule for the rear elevation to allow a behind the arse bottle without turning it into Oscar Egg

If this is required I'm definitely going to be the pilot..

I thought tradition was to always put the heavier rider in the pilot seat anyway 🤷‍♂️?

I've no idea. I thought the more powerful rider went on the back but from an aero point of view it makes more sense to have them on the front I reckon.

Why am I not currently able to enter any events on CTT?

The Enter button just doesn't seem to work.

I'm a member of a CTT-affiliated club - what am I (or what is the website) doing wrong?

The Enter button just doesn't seem to work

What kind of events? Most Type B (club) events can't be entered online

You and G smashed it!
And yeah, we wouldn’t have been far off a team prize ;)
I was quite disappointed with myself, didn’t push hard enough even for a PB…
(HR confirming that- stayed under 165!)

I’m looking to play with different arm rests to find one that works with my position. If anyone has any large arm pads they want to clear out I’d take them off you

Right. So I’ve ordered the bits for a Tt cockpit. Found a local 25 mile TT. And now looking for a CTT affiliated club to join.
Any tips for a completely clueless first timer like myself?

I've heard there's a club called Lufguss that'll let basically anyone in.

No way, is LFGSSCC CTT affiliated?! How do I join?
I found the thread but it looks a bit dead and the shop (for registering) isn’t working.

I think it's a case of, if you call yourself a member, you're a member

Looks like it’s active so no reason not to affiliate there!

How do I join?

Stand in the centre of a Stronglight 105 chainring and summon velocio

So I've joined up as a LFGSS CC member - woohoo.
What does "I am happy to be included as a reserve rider" on the event entry page mean?

1) Don’t start too hard.
2) Don’t start too hard.

If the event oversubscribes (not really a thing these days unless it’s a mega fast course that everyone wants to ride), they also have a reserve list in case people pull out after the closing date.

This and many other questions are answered by reference to the regulations, in this case Reg.26
Read the regulations; this will not only help you to avoid inadvertent infractions (see skinny's "following car" DQ), but it will also place you in your knowledge ahead of 90% of participants 🙂
