B&DCC Time Trialling
Being a fairly new club B&DCC does not have an established history of time Trial results
That said we intend to reverse that trend in 2010 by having several members competing in some of the local events promoted by clubs such as Sheffield Pheonix , KIveton Park CC and more.
Of course , as a prospective member with an interest in TT we would be happy to welcome you into the club.
In 2011 we do intend to promote our own events , including a Hill climb , for which , as a club based in Bolsover we have a significantly challenging course in mind.

Big V's Teversal Triangular Challenge
Do you want to take up the challenge of having the best average time for this ride? OK, have a go. It basically uses old railway routes.
It starts at the signal at Woodend on the Tibshelf to Teversal Trail and heads towards Teversal. It then uses triangle from Teversal, going out towards the old Pleasely pit and back. Ends with the return leg to the signal. It's somewhere in the region of 8 miles. There are no serious climbs but there are railway gradients.
- This activity is for leisure and fun purposes and is undertaken with riders taking full responsibilty for their own safety, equipment and actions and Bolsover and District Cycling club is not responsible and liable for any actions, injuries received, damage to property resulting from a riders actions.
- Be safe - other users come first; be seen (lights etc.. if dull/dark) and be heard; conditions of the cousrscan be very varied - after all, it is an off-road route
- There is one road crossing so due care should be taken (it also comes at the bottom of a steep drop with a barrier at the bottom
- Gates need to be left as they were found
- Be polite - it's best for the club (especially if you are in club colours at the time) and cycling in general
- Anyone can have a go
- It can be done on any bike that can take it and get you round in one piece and without harming others!
- The course can be done in any direction; can be found at http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/teversal-triangular-challenge
- Start form anywhere on the course that suits you but the signal at Woodend seems the most logical (it's a straight, out and back)
- If somebody is around to time you - fine but self timing is just as fine,
- The average time is based on the best 3 times - can have as many goes as you want
- The "challenge" ends the last weekend in April (or the weekend before the club social??). The prize is to bask in the glory of what you have achieved......but only if you have 3 times listed
- You need to post your times, name or AKA, in the event thread Triangular Challenge where they will be picked up and added to the spreadsheet on a weekly basis, to be published on the web site in the Time Trial section
