Stratford CC Time Trials

Thursday night club time trials

Our series traditionally starts with a short 5.6 mile single lap of the sporting course at Aston Cantlow (K25/11.2) and continues with ten milers at Long Marston (K25/10D) and Dunnington (K34/10D). We encourage participation on road bikes as well as time trial bikes and run club competitions for both. We also run a couple of popular two up time trials. The full list of events is on our calendar.
