ATTA

ATTA The purpose of ATTA is to advance, promote and encourage the sport of cycling time trials.

ATTA is an association of individuals, bike riders who wish to pursue their sport of road time-trialling with regular, organised events on a range of courses varying in the sort of challenge each offers and at distances ranging from about 16km to 160km. ATTA was founded in 1988 by a group of riders who saw the need for a specialist club to cater for Time Triallists in WA; they took over the runnin

g of a number of events which had been run for a number of years by the former WA Veterans Cycling Association that eventually merged with ATTA. At the time of its formation ATTA was the only such specialist group in Australia. Time-trialling involves matching one's current fitness and abilities on a bike against the external milieu of road, distance, weather and the clock. That is, it involves getting on your bike and going like the clappers until you've covered the predetermined distance. (Others may use other terms and descriptions, probably less kind, for what we do!)

The rules are simple but the most important phrase in our vocabulary is "alone and unassisted". That is, with one or two exceptions, we ride always as individuals; we start at one minute, sometimes shorter intervals and take no deliberate assistance from other riders or other traffic. Occasionally we may ride as pairs (or 2-Up teams); very occasionally we ride as larger teams. In a sense the sport is non-competitive; individuals are testing themselves. There are, of course, rivalries and we publish lists of who went fastest on the day and so on. But there are no losers; each individual has his or her own goals whether they are standards (eg from a set of times based on age and gender) or perhaps a sub-hour for a 40km; perhaps a course record but certainly, always that elusive personal best (PB). The courses vary: some are flat and potentially fast, others are undulating and some very undulating. Not all courses are standard distances eg 16, 40, 50, 80 and 160km but they are usually close to one of them because, pointless as it may be, we do like to compare times across courses and often continents. Anyway, we always also express all our results as average speeds which makes it easier for us to consider a season's performances together. Time trials are what win Tours de France and are called, quite properly, the Race of Truth.

Here’s some video of a recon lap of The Panther course from a couple of years ago. It’s a nice course easily completed on a gravel bike (or MTB) and far more interesting than a cruise on the Heritage Trail. My fastest lap (~4km) was just under 9 minutes, however others have done it closer to 8 minutes. I’m looking forward to having another crack at it. Cheers, Paul

The Panther – Sunday 30th August

Reminder that ATTAs only gravel race of the year is back again on Sunday 30th August at Langford Park in Jarrahdale. Entries close on Thursday August 27 at 6pm. You can enter now at https://www.webscorer.com/register?raceid=428746

This is an excellent, fast and flowing balance of climbing and distance on an open trail with lots of places for passing. The Panther is open to any form of CX / Gravel or MTB with each lap being 4km for a total distance of 20km. Could be an excellent hit out for anyone riding the Worlds, with several other excellent tracks in the area to increase your milage following a full on TT ride.

Additionally, we still need 3 more volunteers to be able to run the event. If you can help please let us know at [email protected] If you are riding, and have a friend or family member attending, the volunteer roles put them in wonderful viewing locations.
