Victoria CC Open 10 mile Time Trial Series – Ugley, Essex

 

Mark and Paul have been riding together for the best part of 10 years now and therefore know each others styles inside out so it is no coincidence that they regularly pair up for the odd 2-up Time Trial. 

 

They decided to go one better this year and try out a series run by Victoria Cycling Club.  The series consists of four races on the same circuit in Essex every few weeks and after a successful first attempt Mark and Paul will be going gung ho in the next few to try and beat the time set in round 1.

 

A 2-Up Time Trial involves riding together over a set distance using each others slip stream to rest before taking your turn on the front.  On the downhill sections they reach speeds of up to 40mph whilst only inches from each others wheel!
