If you want to have a go at time trialling this year then I would recommend the following events. They are either 10 or 25 mile events, so nothing too long, and these are the ones where there will be at least 3 other Addiscombe riders. There will be the usual Evening 10s for club members only but these are well worth a look, particularly if you aren't available on Tuesday evenings for the club events.
At any of the events below you will find familiar/friendly faces in the same kit that will be happy to help you get over any nerves that are natural from your first events.
All the things that can put you off or make you nervous on the day like how to fill out and send in the entry form on time, signing in, pinning your number on, where is the start etc can be explained.
In addition to the people below expect to see RichV, Robert R-E, Tamar, and Carole at some of them as well.
If it says Sporting then the course is a loop on country roads rather than a dual carriageway (not flat but quieter roads). The location is where the HQ is, so should give you an idea of where the event is.
If you think you might want of do any of them then stick any questions you have on the forum and someone will be able to help you.
Oh, and before I forget SCCU events are well worth doing as the club gets points towards the Rawson Shield trophy.
