Ythan
CC Confined Time Trial Series Information The club run
a series of confined time trials throughout the summer cycling season. The time
trials are normally run on a 10 mile out and back course leaving from Ellon and
turning at a point after the Haddo estate. These are officially training rides
for those wanting to perfect their TT’ing ability and to introduce newcomers
to the joys of the ‘race of truth’. The training
time trials are run every two weeks, over the summer, and are designed to help
promote the club and give newcomers an insight into time trailing before they
enter open events. The race starts at 1830 every second Tuesday evening but it
is suggested you turn up before this to get your race number, familiarise
yourself with the start and warm up before the race starts.

Points are awarded as follows: Ø 1 point for starting Ø 1 point for finishing Ø 1 additional point for improving between 1 – 30 seconds Ø 2 additional points for improving between 31 – 60 seconds Ø 3 additional points for improving between 61-120 seconds Ø
2 additional points are awarded for the fastest
rider on handicap ( a system where all riders previous times are normalised ) Riders can also gain additional points by either riding or assisting at open events run by Ythan CC.
The club record for the ‘10’ course is 22mins 54secs set on the 18th Aug 2009 by Colin Duncan. Most mere mortals get no where near this time so don’t worry about it. Colin is pictured below at an Ythan 10 mile time trial in July 2009.
The meeting point for the race is behind the
Co-op supermarket on Craigs road in
Auchterellon.
Race results
and the latest league positions are posted and discussed on the ‘race’
section of the Ythan CC forum: http://ythancc.forumup.co.uk/index.php?mforum=ythancc Non club
members are welcome to come along and give it a go but the club requests that if
you want to be considered for the end of season prizes or that you intend riding
