Time Trial / Time Trialling / TT

Interclub 25

You may remember I suggested forum members could ride this event (as 'private time trials') and the result could be treated as The lfgss 25 Championship.

Well, there was a bit of a wobble with the promotion and it was necessary to make a special late application for the event - this has been done and the event is on, but I don't think it will be in any handbook.

This event started in 1925, so next year's will be the centenary. I think it's a newsworthy story that this rather humble little TT (it's essentially a club event) has lasted so long, and I believe it's something worthy of celebration, so I was keen that this year's event would happen and, of course, that next year's landmark happens also.

The clubs currently involved are: Hounslow, Twickenham and Westerley (theoretically there is also the Weybridge, but I don't think they are still functioning). The clubs have varied over the years but the Twickenham has always been on the list.

This year forum riders should just enter as PTT's, but I'm sure in the future the lfgss cc would be welcome as a member club if it has any riders wanting to compete, and this would be an easy first step in race promotion for the club (member clubs promote the event on an annual rotating basis).

So, if there are any contenders for the forum 25 championship, I'll provide a (second hand) trophy if there is more than one of you.

In theory it should be possible to enter as a private on the start line, but really if you want to ride it would be best to enter in advance. You could go straight to the Twickenham CC to do this, or if you prefer, send me a PM and I will forward your details.

So, Sunday 19th May, 8am, West of Windsor course HCC001.
