2023 Club Championship

Welland Valley has a thriving time trial section with a variety of courses and distances – from 5 miles to 25 miles (with 10 miles the most frequent) – with competitors range in age from 12 to 70+. All abilities are welcome (especially TT novices) with riders on standard road bikes currently make up around 50% of all TT competitors.

At the end of every event there’s tea and cake back at race HQ, and the chance for a catch up with other riders
