Southend Wheelers Cycling Club Time Trials

Time trialling is known as the race of truth. Competitors race alone starting at one minute intervals they ride against the clock over a specified distance, the rider with the fastest time at the end of the event is the winner.

Distances vary from 10 to 100 miles with the specialist areas going up to 12 and 24 hours. Most club riders compete at 10 and 25 miles in weekly leagues organised by Southend Wheelers or other local clubs or associations to which they belong.

Southend Wheelers offers a full programme of weekly events throughout the year for all age categories of 12 and above. Club riders under 16 years must gain permission from their parents/guardians before entering.

The Southend Wheelers Wednesday Time League runs from April through to August meeting at the Sun and Anchor in Steeple (click here for map) from 18:00 for a 19:00 start (18:45 late August). The course is 10 miles and a buffet is available after the race . This event is open for anyone to "come and try". Four events in 2010 are being held in Canewdon rather than Steeple - please check the listings below.
