Prices
£3 for Barnesbury Members, £4 for all other riders.
All riders are welcome to compete in these events if your club is affiliated to Cycling Time Trials.
If you are a new rider or not a member of an affiliated cycling club, you are also welcome to come along and have a go, however if you want to continue riding these events you will need to join a local CTT affiliated club.
Sign on usually open around 17:30 depending on how long it takes to set the course out, and will be open for an hour.
Riders must sign on for themselves and numbers are given on a 1st come, 1st served basis. Exceptions will be made for riders that volunteer to marshal (with a specific date), young riders (early teens) so that they aren't on the course too late, or in exceptional circumstances with agreement from the Event Sec.
Riders are reminded:
- Be considerate and respectful towards the local businesses and area, especially in regard to parking, littering, warming up. DO NOT BLOCK or HINDER access to the HTL Group premises (the one with the flags).
- Queue/chat/use rollers on the paths not on the road. Always ensure space is available for pedestrians to pass safely.
- You need to know, understand and adhere to the Highway Code. If you can't then you have no place racing on the road. If you feel the need to run after the event, use the paths and if you must run on the road, run on the right so you can see oncoming traffic.
- If it's your 1st time riding feel free to let us know at sign on and we'll happily offfer any advice.
It is your responsibility to familiarise yourself with the route. Turns are signposted or marshalled. Marshals are there for you safety, not to tell you it's safe to enter a roundabout - that's your job as a rider to determine(see Highway Code).
Marshalling Rota
The Club 10's cannot run without marshalls and it is expected that all regular riders will marshall at least once in the season.
To ensure that we have the required number of marshalls at each event we have introduced a Queue Jumper system where if you volunteer to marshal on a specifc date then we will allow you to pre-book your start time for any 2 subsequent events (nb - this is subject to change depending on the popularity of the scheme). Given the popularity of the Club 10's this will be well worth doing.
You can register for this system either by asking at the sign on at the events or contacting us via the contact form on this site.
We strongly recommend (in all conditions) the use of a rear light and a hardshell helmet.

Event Info
After a few days of miserable weather, there appeared to be a window of opportunity opening up for a “float” night at the last Club 10 of the season. Conditions were about as good as they get with light cloud, a bit of sunshine, 8mph SW/SWW Winds and a temp of around 18 deg C. What could go wrong – oh, wait a minute – road-works!! The SOS went up the previous evening when a certain Mr Carl Donaldson raised the alarm of cones just down from the start line.
Most of Wednesday morning was spent making frantic phone calls and course visits to get the obstacles removed with the promise of a fast night on the cards.
Just to make it more interesting a car crash happened on the 'shoes on our exit junction 30 mins before the start. Luckily it was cleared before the 1st rider set off (Cheers to Tim W for going out of his way and riding down to tell us).
Thankfully, it all paid off. Carl Donaldson set away with No. 19 on his back and smashed the course record previously set by Danny Grieves (19min 18secs) set at the Barnesbury Open 10 on 12th July, 2017 – Carl notched up an impressive 19:05. Carl's G.S. Metro Team-mate Danny Grieves went off a few spots later at No. 23, and crossed the finish line at 18:55, securing his season’s ambition to go under the 19 minute mark on the M102B course. Unfortunately, Banks Mining decided that it was an appropriate night to arrange for two humongous earth-moving machines to come off site on the back of low loaders, and sadly Gareth Davies (Barnesbury), Daniel Dixon (Gosforth) were two of the riders who were stopped behind them for some time – hard luck lads!
Danny’s Garmin was telling him that he had achieved his season’s ambition of going under 19 minutes on the Club 10 course, but he just needed confirmations from the Timekeeper (who is always right!). As his result was written up, it was only fitting that he received a generous round of applause from everyone present.
Many thanks to the marshals and helpers: Sharon, Michael, Andy, Jack, Eric, Matt, Trevor & Pete. Remember folks, the main reason we are cutting the season short this season is that it's a right pain getting marshals in August, so if you offer to help, we'll happily run the events.
