Time trialling is declining because it's stuck in the past.
I would have to agree with that - its such a simple event that online entry would be a doddle to organise, but only a very small minority offer such a feature, why?
You only need to take a look at the fields they attract and see a good proportion of the riders are vets. It is certainly not beginner friendly event and many of the courses certainly are not child friendly. I have ridden plenty of club time trials and even organised an open event but have never competed in one... For me entering at least a month in advance for a 30minute race seems madness. Plus I don't think I even have a chequebook these days!
