Bike racing. Does this conjure up thoughts of huge peletons and intimidating team tactics?

Yes, road racing can be a little daunting but if you want to dip your toe into bike racing then time trials are a brilliant place to start. It’s perfectly relatable to triathlon, after all, a non-drafting race is a time trial that's just topped and tailed by a swim and a run.

Whether you're wanting to use a time trial to boost your training or as a standalone event we’ve got you covered. Heather will be covering all you need to know before your first race.
