And now for something completely different…..The 5+5 TT

We all love 10 mile TTs, and don’t worry there are plenty of them this season…… but this coming Tuesday (6 May), it’s the 5+5 TT, an ‘out and back’ with a break in the middle!

Two timed TTs of just less than five miles, with the combined time of both to count. Riders who did the ‘dash’ a few weeks ago will be familiar with the return leg, with the out leg being the same course going the other way.

HQ is Church Langton Community Hall, first rider off at 630pm, 1 minute intervals.

So, why not get your entries in now, and roll up for a TT with a twist. Sign up closes 6pm on Sunday. It’s going to be a cracker!

It’s also another opportunity to enjoy tea and coffee, and of course Angela’s awesome cakes, have a chat and swap stories about the ride. Please can we all help with returning cups and plates to the kitchen, and a bit of help with the washing up would be greatly appreciated.

The 5=5 is on a very quiet rural course, ideal for beginners because the hard finish (in either direction) makes pace judgment vital. Wind direction really affect this course – it can be brutal if against you and strong cross-winds can affect the fast descents at the start (both directions.)
