FCCC CLUB ROAD BIKE 10m CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS HCC216a – THURSDAY 6 AUGUST AT 19.00HRS
The next Club TT is the FCCC 10 mile ROAD BIKE Club Championships on the 10 mile HCC216a course (follow this link for the course map https://www.plotaroute.com/route/198873), starting in Franklin Avenue, Hartley Wintney, on 6 August 2026 at 19:00
Club trophies are available for the fastest “open” member, the fastest female, and the fastest veteran road bike rider for the annual championships incorporated into this club TT.
As per usual the club TT is open to members and non-members riding either TT or road bikes but only FCCC First Claim members riding ROAD BIKES in the event will be eligible for the road bike championships. It is the rider’s responsibility to check that they have a First Claim (senior/family) membership if they want to be eligible for a trophy, as opposed to Second Claim membership.
Entrance is free to club members and £5 to non-members (payable at sign-on).
There are a few criteria that must be followed in order to be eligible for the road bike championships. Please note that these are based on the CTT definition of a road bike, and the CTT definition was updated in 2026 so do make sure you are aware of the very latest regulations. In summary these criteria are as follows:
- The competitor shall normally assume a sitting position on the machine. This position requires that the only points of support are the following: the feet, on the pedals, the seat on the saddle and the hands holding the handlebar, tops, drops or brake hoods.
- The road bike must possess drop or flat handlebars. No tri-bars or clip-on bars are allowed. Handlebars must not be modified or cut down in any way. (Note that we are not enforcing the CTT-defined min/max measurements for handlebars due to the extra hassle of doing so)
- Both front and rear wheels must have at least 12 spokes each with a maximum rim depth of 90mm.
- Helmets used in road bike category events must not cover any part of the ears, have a tear drop / long “tail” or be marketed as a time trial specific helmet. The helmet should not be modified in any way but any features of the helmet (such as sliding vents or covers) can be used.
- Hydration storage is limited to the use of water bottles or cages mounted within the main triangle of the frame for events up to 30 miles.
- N.B. Holding the brake hoods or drops may result in additional points of contact between the wrists/forearms and a rider’s handlebars. Such contact is permitted.
- And in case you’re wondering, racesuits/skinsuits are allowed.
Sign-on is from 20 minutes prior to the start time and will close 5 minutes prior to the start time.
Riders are encouraged to park away from the start and then ride up to the start area.
Helmets, front lights and rear lights are compulsory to participate in any TT event – make sure you have them all or you will not be able to ride.
CTT REGULATION 14(g) and 14(h): No competitor shall be permitted to start either a Type A or Type B event unless such competitor has affixed to their machine a working front white light and rear red light, either flashing or constant, that is illuminated and in a position that is clearly visible to other road users.
There is no pushing-off.
