The trees have buds on them, the spring equinox is just round the corner and we are about to shed the mudguards. This can mean only one thing, and that is that it is time to cast your minds towards the club TTs and hill climbs.
Run on Tuesday evenings and free to Mitre members (£5 for non-members), this year we have 8 events including a interclub TT.

Full details of all the events can be found on the CTT website here. No need to pre-register, just turn up on the evening. Entries close 18.50, first rider off at 19:00.
All the events are run on a “Come and Try it” basis and there is no barrier to entry. All you will need to comply with regulations is a working front and rear light and a helmet. You don’t need a TT bike or a pointy helmet for TT as there is a road bike category. You don’t need a sub 5kg bike to do a hill climb. Just turn up, have a laugh and give it a crack. Whether you consider it a training ride, an opportunity to better your PB or see how close you can get to the time of our very own National TT Champion (Road Bike) Cris Coxon, it doesn’t matter. They are fun social events and all local enough so that you can ride to and from the event if desired. For the TTs there is a TT bike category and a road bike category but no bike categories for the hill climbs. In both there is an open and a female category.
