Derwentside Cycling Club - Time Trial
Derwentside Cycling Club have been running an Individual 10 mile Time Trial around the reservoir for many years. The event takes place every Tuesday from the end of April and the end of August. It is open to anyone as long as you have a bike (and are prepared to go as hard as you can for between 25 and 40 mins).
When our photographers were there one competitor was 84, there were a number of women of all ages, and a selection of men of various abilities. The atmosphere was very friendly and supportive of less experienced riders, then it was into the Manor House to discuss where it all went wrong.
The start is at The Manor House on the A68 and the finish just before Edmondbyers, signing on is at 6.30, first away at 7.00 followed by the others at 1 min intervals.
