Rhos-on-Sea Cycling Club hosts a series of Time Trials every year. Our Time Trials are designed to encourage novices and seasoned riders and are open to all clubs to race in the series.

Time Trials are a great way of improving your cycling speed and the friendly, competitive atmosphere really makes it a lot of fun too. All rules & sign-on locations are listed below the time trials list.

Rhos also participates in inter-club TT events such as the Gwynedd Cycling Association

The Rhos on Sea Cycling Club Time Trial events for 2023 are listed in the table below.  Payment is at sign-on, using contactless card (mobile signal permitting) or the correct cash please.  Rates listed below.

Updates on the events will be provided on Facebook, for example if there are roadworks that prevent the event from being run as planned.

Some stats and facts for you about the 2022 TT season in the 2022 TT report – stats and facts.

We are keen to provide events that encourage women into TTs, designed by women.  Want to contribute? We’d love to hear your ideas. Email post@rhoscycling.com or Message me on Facebook.

Non-club members are  welcome to join our TT events. You can test and try twice as our Guest, after which CTT rules require that you are a member of a CTT affiliated Club. We do hope you decide to join Rhos!

Rhos on Sea CC  are committed to inclusion and diversity.  The club encourages participation by all groups in competitive and social events. All Club events recognise and distribute rewards equitably between competitors.

Please note: It is now a CTT rule for all competitors to wear a helmet (regulation 15), and to have working bright front light (reg. 14j) and rear lights (reg 14i).  Please click on the link below for the CTT regulations https://www.cyclingtimetrials.org.uk/articles/view/11

  • The series of Time Trials are run over the season and it’s your best 16 scores plus 1 marshalling duty (for which you get 50 points). Please note, that only 1 marshalling duty point counts, regardless of how many times you choose to marshal during a season.
Marshals & Timekeepers
  • Marshalling  and timekeeping can be a great way of getting involved in the Club. If you have never done it before, do come and try, you can shadow a marshal, and guidance and training will be provided.
  • If we end up being short of a marshal,  all rider numbers will go into a hat and the rider that is chosen to marshal will ride for free at their next Time Trial. If there are no marshals, then there’s no race!  so please be prepared to help out.
  • All our marshals and timekeepers are volunteers. Please be considerate.
  • A very useful Timekeeper re-fresher PDF has been compiled and can be downloaded at the following link: TT_Presentation PDF
  • A clear guide on how to use stop watches during the Time Trials can be downloaded at the following link: StopWatch_Instructions
  • The Rota can be viewed at the link below. Please contact Toto if you’d like to volunteer for a time trial marshaling/timekeeper duty:

The 2023 Marshal & Timekeeper Rota will be on a google spreadsheet site, and will be kept up to date – check here or on facebook for links – to be ready at end of March 2023. You can cheer on the riders, as well as marshal, and you get to join in the end of TT season dinner too.
