We are almost there. The Teesside open events start on 10th March with the Cleveland Wheelers CC 21mile SPOCO circuit event in the Stokesley, North Yorkshire, area. With the closing date fast approaching, be reminded that Teesside time trials this year nearly all have a specific road bike category, so you can now compete on a level playing field with others using this type of machine. To bring attention to the specification you must adhere to if entering the road bike event, please see details below:
To enter a 2019 road bike specific event in the Teesside District, the following specification is appropriate to the conditions of entry:
The Rider:
- · No time trial style pointy helmets (including Kask Bambino), or helmets with built in visors should be worn.
- · No riding with elbows or forearms on the handlebars. If witnessed, competitor will be disqualified.
The Cycle:
- · The frame should be constructed in the traditional pattern, i.e. built around a main triangle.
- · No time trial style or triathlon forward extension bars with or without elbow pads should be present.
- · Wheels should be of a spoked construction, with a minimum of 12 spokes and a maximum depth of 60mm.
