Hi everyone, my club (East London Velo) runs the Navestock Evening 10s in conjunction with Becontree Wheelers. It's a club event (rather than an open) so it is EOL, and everyone is welcome. If you're new to TTing just let us know and we'll be happy to explain anything that you need to know.
Be aware that it is run under Cycling Time Trials rules, so you do need to be a member of a CTT registered club to ride. Unlike British Cycling, where individuals are members, clubs afiliate to CTT and then all their members are eligible to compete in CTT events.
The course is on country roads without too much traffic, there are two left turns and although these are signposted you may want to familiarise yourself with them; the first time I rode it, I went straight past the Tysea Hill turn....
It's a great way to test yourself, and see how you improve over the course of the season. The course is on gently rolling terrain, and should be well suited to fixed gears. If we get some fixed gear riders turning out, I'll get my pursuit bike out and ride that to show solidarity.
