We answer your top questions about HCC time trials

Do I need a special bike/equipment?

No – any standard road bike will do. If you want to get fancy with aerobars/disc wheels/skinsuits you’ll be in good company, but we usually have a good number of folks competing ‘Merckx’ style on regular road bikes (and indeed they are categorized separately in the results).

How do I register for ‘try-out’ sessions

We don’t have any try-out sessions planned as yet – keep an eye on the website. Last year this was a special initiative from Ontario cycling.

Do I need to sign up in advance or can I just turn up?

No need to register in advance, but make sure you show up at least 30 minutes before the start to check in. You do need to be a registered member of the club – so bring along confirmation of this, especially if it’s your first event.

If the weather is bad, do events still go ahead?

The President will make a judgement call on the day and send an email out ahead of time if the event is cancelled.
