"All Comers" Time Trial - May 3rd

Ladies, Gentlemen,

 

If you have club members or clients or friends who are

- getting the cyclilng bug and looking for a bit of a challenge, and/or

- have thought a little about road racing, but aren't confident about racing in a group or where they fit in or whether they are fast enough and/or

- aren't sure about forking out for a race licence

the May 3rd time trial is open to all riders, no licence and no MCA membership required.

 

We are absorbing the substantial cost of the additional event insurance so there will be no additional fees for non-licenced riders.

 

I realize a time trial is not everybody's thing, but it may be just the thing to pique their interest in a safe, non-threatening, and inexpensive manner. This may be the only such opportunity this year (If it is successful, we will do the same on Aug 29). If someone comes to mind, please pass this along. Brief info below. Full info on MCA website.
