Published May 21, 2012 | Evening Time Trial Series
The Lamb Pub, Iron Acton
First event Tuesday 5th June
After a great 2011 culminating in the Kingswood Tri Vs VCB showdown… Won by VCB!! – only just now is the time for a rematch!!
We have a bolstered evening time trial series for 2012 season.
We’ll be sharing the series with VCB, alternating the weeks. So one week we’ll organise the ’10′ then VCB organise the following week. Maximum number of riders per week will be 40 and we now have to increase the evening fee to £3.00. This is largely down to having to register the series and levies to CTT. Preference will be with the organising club for riders on the night and as always we’ll required some marshals and pushers off etc.
The series starts on Tuesday 5th June, then through to 7th August, with the re-match on the 14th August! Signing-on is from 7pm with first rider off at 7.30pm. Parking will now be in The Lamb Pub, Iron Acton, the owner is happy for us to do this but please park with consideration

Thanks to Allison Lucas for sorting this out with a sprinkling of ‘the Coxes’
Venue: Hot Water Lane, Kingswood off of Station Road near SJ Cooks Garage
Time: 9.45am to start at 10:00
Tinsel/dressing up in Christmas outfit a must – if you can’t run for any reason some help marshalling and/or time keeping would be appreciated. -
Don’t forget to bring the kids as all ages catered for – prizes for all children!
Cooked Breakfast after (you pay for what you want)
Slight change this year where prizes will only be for 1st Lady and Gent.
The run is along the same loop used for the 3 day Tri back in August (wood post and back along Ring Road Cycle path).
This isn’t a serious race, just the chance for some friendly competition between club members/Bitton RR. We hope we can hold this race regularly throughout 2012, to serve as a benchmark for people and a way to judge fitness levels throughout the season around the same course. It will take place on a week night during the summer.
