This year we will be using the CTT website for registering and payment for our club TT’s.

https://www.cyclingtimetrials.org.uk/

To register for our events you need to create an account on the CTT website and make sure you fill in your rider profile. (many of you, who have registered for Open TT-events before will already have an account).

The system still allows for on-the-line entries but these also require you to have a CTT account. (but you can create one on a mobile phone in a few minutes).

The cost for online entry will incur a £0.35 admin fee for the CTT. We charge £5 for members and £6 for Non-members. For Juniors u18, it is £3. The £0.35 admin fee will be added at the check-out process.

The cost for on-the-line entries will be £10 

If the event is cancelled by the club or if you withdraw your entry before the start list is published, you will be refunded the entry fee minus the £0.35 admin fee.

Here is a list of all confirmed club/open PWCC events for this season:

To sign up:

Keep an eye on our Website, Facebook page & WhatsApp groups a few days in advance. The link for the first event is live on the CTT-Website. (search events for “Poole Wheelers”, for the next ones i’ll also include “PWCC” as searchable)

https://www.cyclingtimetrials.org.uk/events/49502-poole-wheelers-cc-club-10

We’ll publish the start list a few hours before the start of the event and it is sent to you by email.

Our club events are open to all. It is a bit like the “park run” of the cycling world! If you have any questions feel free to DM me on Facebook or WhatsApp.

The Course:

Each week we use our regular course near Wool (P459). It is simple to navigate, with only 3 left turns. A long downhill, a long flat, and a 2% incline back to the finish line. You can see the full course here

The Weather:

We only call it off if there is heavy rain forecast while the event is taking place. 

Trophies!

During the season we have a number of leagues for everyone depending on your Personal Best, as well as leagues for Road Bikes, Veterans (over 40’s), Ladies and Juniors. All the results and leagues (since 2008!) are collated on this brilliant website by Terry Belbin –
