Time Trials

Time trialling is the purest form of competitive cycling—just you, the road, and the clock.Whether you're looking to push your limits, see how fast you can really go, or simply find that next level of performance, nothing compares to taking on the timekeeper's watch.Fancy aero gear is always welcome, but standard bikes are just as good. If you think you can ride fast, come out and prove it to yourself!The RRPCC Time Trial Series runs annually from April to August on alternating Tuesday evenings.Event Information:

Cyclocross

Cyclo-Cross can be likened to cross-country running, but on
bikes. Cyclo-cross bikes look similar to road bikes but have
been optimised to help the rider tackle mud, grass, gravel or
sand. Cyclo-cross is a discipline that has grown rapidly,
particularly for club-level riders, who can enjoy the friendly no-pressure environment and participate in some competitive cycling off-road.Our club riders are heavily involved in the West
Midlands Cyclo-Cross League and we also organise one of the rounds, typically on a Sunday in Autumn. If you are completely new to cyclo-cross, we highly recommend that you volunteer at our event to see and experience the thrill of cyclo-cross first-hand.📅 Sunday 20th September 2026
