time trials and hill climbs

Solihull CC has a long tradition in time trialling with previous local and national champions. 

We offer, throughout the summer months, a comprehensive time trial program open to club members and guest riders to have a go at, on various different courses and different distances

For 2023 we are holding are 14 club events with TT distances ranging from 5-50 miles as well as 3 hill climb events. We have tropies to award to the winners of our Club Championship 5, 10, 25 & 50 mile & Hill Climb event. 

Trophies can only be awarded to members who note Solihull as a first claim club & have been a member for over 6 months prior to the competition date. 

For 2022 onwards to compete in a CTT sanctioned time trial you must use a helmet & your bike must have a front & rear light that works at the point that you set off.

New for 2023

In an attempt to make the racing fairer 

Any event labelled Roadmans you are encouraged to ride it on your standard road race bike and equipment to level the playing field. You can ride it on your TT bike if you so wish however this will not count towards any points in the time trial series - rules of which will be outlined shortly.

A Reliability Time Trial is where you state what time you think you will go when you sign on - you then remove your head unit and ride without it. The winner on the night is the one who got closest to their guess. An additional £1 coin will be needed for the Reliability Time Trial - winner takes all.

Any Competitors under the age of 18 wishing to compete must first fill in a parental consent form for club events. Our events are open to all competitors provided they are at least 12 years old. Sign on will open 1hour before the event starts at the location linked under each course. Sign on will close 10 minutes before the first rider sets off.
