Club TT #4 – August 20/19

,

The fourth and final TT of our 4 event time trial series is this week, with first rider starting at 7:00pm! The August TT tends to produce some of the fastest times, so why not come out and put the training you’ve been doing all year to the test!

Time trials are a great way to test your fitness.  It is a race against yourself and the clock. Riders start at 1 minute intervals and the challenge is to try to catch the rider ahead of you and not to be caught by the rider behind you!  No drafting is allowed.

The course is 16.7km long, an out-and-back route on the rolling hills of Sixth Line East just north of County Road 51 (road to Ariss)

TIPS

  • have a smooth, regular pedalling technique
  • position yourself to be extremely aerodynamic
  • discipline yourself to operate just below your anaerobic threshold until near the end of the course.

Club members may be interested as one of the events is being held in Fergus. In addition, club members who do not have an OCA racing licence are eligible to participate!

Registration for the first event closed this coming Thursday May 4/17 at midnight.

Racetiming.ca is proud to bring to you the brand new Ontario ITT Series. The series will feature three events across the province, all of which will run with traditional Regional categories (ability based) as well as U17 & Para.

Here’s the best part: OCA club members can participate without a racing licence.

Each event will have a Sportif category where any member of an OCA Sanctioned Club (ACM) will be allowed to participate in. Various distances will be offered, both for Men & Women, and will each have a podium ceremony and awards! Series points will be awarded to top finishers and a final series standing will tell us who the best club riders of 2017 are!

The three dates within the series are:

Ingersoll, ON – Saturday, May 6th, 2017
Fergus, ON – Sunday, June 11th, 2017
Dundalk, ON – Sunday July 23rd, 2017

Registration for the first event is now up on CCN Bikes:
