Official Evening 10km TCC TT
Earlier this year the idea of forming more official TCC events was discussed and it was put on the backburners until a suitable location could be found to host a regular event.
Having searched for good locations for events on my daily rides I have found the perfect location to hold a weekly evening 10km solo time trial. The location is on the newly finished Tsurumigawa Cycle road.
The plan is to hold the event every Thursday night from 7pm to 9pm (we can extend to 10pm depending on take up) along the stretch of cycle road here: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/545080
The reason we chose this location is due to the surface of the course and that there are no obstructions or speed bumps over the duration of the distance. The start and turn around points are dead ends so safer than mid road and the course is very wide enabling us to use it safely with the general public.
It will be a series of 15 solo TT's with riders taking the average of their best 10 rides over the course of the summer and autumn. The times will then be calculated and then Prizes awarded to the Top 3 male, female and junior riders.
The weekly results will be posted up on the forums for all to see.
HIGH5 and G.S Astuto have kindly offered to sponsor the series and donate prizes for the winners.
Also we ask that each entrant pay ¥500 per race to pay for things like print outs, race numbers, stop watches and eventually the certificates and trophies for the winners. Hopefully we will then have enough to maybe get a proper timing system for next year. Anything left over will be handed over to Thomas to pay for future events.
This is a full endorsed TCC club event so your support would be greatly appreciated.

- You do not need a TT specific bike to participate.
- You do not need to commit to the whole 15 TT's or the 10 to qualify; you can just turn up and race just for fun or training.
- The event is held on a public cycle way although we plan to have marshals (Volunteers please) on the course caution needs to be given at all times to other users.
- This is a TCC Club event and low key, although we would like as many participants as possible to make this a fun event we do ask to let us know beforehand if you are coming and how many intend to join if you are bringing others.
