CTT Announcement - 8th June
It is anticipated that on or around 4th July there will be an update from the Government on further relaxation of restrictions affecting sporting events. It may then be possible in England for there to be a restart of club events from 6th July and open events from 18th July. Whether events take place will also be at the discretion of CTT districts, promoting clubs and event organisers. The restart of events in Wales and Scotland will be a matter for the devolved administrations.

The VTTA National Executive Committee has re-arranged the 10 mile championship for Saturday 12th September and the 15 mile championship for Sunday 20th September. The 25 mile championship was scheduled for 11th July and we will have to await a decision as to whether this may be re-arranged.

This is hopeful news for members looking forward to racing again, but in safe conditions, and with the recognition that dates are still contingent on how the situation with the virus unfolds in the coming weeks.

VTTA Virtual Time Trial Series - Event Number 7
Saturday 30 May 2020; 10am

The seventh of the weekly 10 mile time trials took place this Saturday where we are inviting VTTA members to enter the Newbury 10-and-a-bit mile time trial. With warm and summery conditions across the country, we weren't surprised to see numbers down a little this week. However, please do keep telling your VTTA members friends about the event.

This week, it was once again the chance of 86-year-old Masters World Champion Derek Hodgins to take the win. Derek crossed the line with a plus of +9:23. Second place went to TT regular Jon Stroud with a plus of +6:48 with Tim Davies taking the bronze in +6:43.

Amongst the ladies, it was regular rider Ros Young who took the honors with +4:36 with Jan Farmer taking the silver with -1:27.

Full results can be found on Zwiftpower (www.zwiftpower.com/events.php?zid=829779) and the official VTTA results are attached to this post.

We are running a standards league so the best standards achieved in the event will be noted over the course of the year. Derek Hodgins is now leading the men and the overall with a plus of +11:15 and Deb Lumb is leading the ladies with a plus of +5:47. Full league results are here: www.zwiftpower.com/league.php?id=324

A few points to note:

- Please make sure your name on Zwiftpower is exactly the same as your name on the VTTA database. Although we've got most of the names by manually finding them, we may well have missed some.

- Do not add anything after your name on Zwiftpower (teamnames can be left in brackets, but they must be in brackets)

- THIS IS JUST A BIT OF FUN. People are on different power sources, some of which are of varying accuracies. If you notice your result is seriously "out of kilter" from where it should be, then consider calibrating your equipment. Also, bear in mind as you ride more on Zwift you get to ride better bikes and wheels. Also, Zwift physics don't quite yet work like real physics, so some of the pluses may not be as they would be in real life.

See you next week and well done to all those who took part! ... See MoreSee Less

British Cycling issued updated guidance on 27th May which extends the suspension of cycling activity beyond 30th June but provides provisional dates for the restart of different cycling activities. Follow this link below for full details:

www.britishcycling.org.uk/about/article/20200527-about-bc-news-Update--Suspension-of-sanctioned-c...

In a nutshell:

1) International or national level racing suspended until 1st September
2) Regional racing and non-competitive events (such as sportives) suspended until 1st August
3) Club and group activity such as club rides suspended till 4th July
In all cases BC say they will review these suspensions on a fortnightly basis in the light of ongoing government guidance. They will give six weeks’ notice of changes to item 1) events above, four weeks for item 2) and two weeks for item 3). They also note that some disciplines or events may return ahead others if the format allows the safety of all to be managed appropriately.

There has not yet been a response from CTT but we will continue to monitor the CTT website for updates and inform members appropriately.

It may be that time trials could restart on 1st August but we shall see ! ... See MoreSee Less
