Thursday evening TT

Seacroft Wheelers organise and participate in the Tadcaster Evening League in conjunction with CycleSense, Yorkshire Road Club, Leeds Westfield CC, Valley Striders, Wetherby Wheelers and AlbaRosa CC. The league is sponsored by local bike shop CycleSense of Tadcaster and is run every Thursday evening from 2nd of May to the 8th of August on courses in the Tadcaster, Wetherby & Fairburn areas with time trial events from 10 to 25 miles. Entry is restricted to first and second claim members of the above clubs and a generous prize list is competed for by all categories over the season long competition.

Promoted under Cycling Time Trials regulations the Evening League provides an ideal introduction to cycle racing for newcomers to the sport.

Seacroft Wheelers stage a number of evening Club Events ourselves prior to and following the CycleSense League programme. All are welcome to ride. (See “Club evening time trials” tab at the top of this page).

Evening League Results can be found on the CycleSense website, usually by the next evening following each event. Some of the results also get posted on our facebook group .

New to Time Trialling?

If you have not ridden a time trial before and would like to have a go then the evening league or the club evening time trials are ideal for you to try, to see if you like it.

A new prize was introduced from 2019 for the fastest man and fastest woman for riders on road bikes . In order to qualify for these prizes you must not have

• time trial bars
• time trial helmets
• disc wheels

Please arrive and be ready to pay and collect your number. There is a maximum of 40 riders and it’s on a first come first served basis. Please note the very latest signing on time will be no later than 15 minutes before the race start time. This helps organisers plan better but more importantly gives you the chance to warm up. Once you have collected your number this needs to be displayed on your back towards the left hand side. All riders are pushed off at one minute intervals and given a time for the distance rode. It is helpful for the marshals if you shout out your number as you cross the finish line.

Want to improve your times?

Whether you are new to time trialling or would just like to improve your times, Seacroft Wheelers have a qualified coach, Mike Farthing, who organises a variety of training sessions throughout the year.
Mike is available to offer extra coaching sessions and advice if required for all Seacroft club members.
For more information on any of the activities contact Mike on: coaching@seacroftwheelers.co.uk

CYCLESENSE TADCASTER LEAGUE 2021

In the past many riders have been disappointed when races have had to be cancelled where it is found that there are roadworks on the course, or the course has recently been gritted making it dangerous for riders to race. Therefore from 2018 we have submitted police forms for a reserve course in readiness for if this happens. However, we may not know about this immediately and the course could then be changed up to the day before the event.

The following necessary changes are needed to ensure that we are complying with the current COVID-19 rules.  It is really important that you read this information ahead of turning out to race because failure to comply or not turning up with the correct items could mean that you are unable to ride.  These will be regularly reviewed following any changes from the Government.  The changes are:

• Competitors should not attend if they feel ill in any way, especially if they or family members have any symptoms.
• Competitors are advised that an elevated resting heart rate during warm up can suggest an underlying asymptomatic illness of ANY kind, and they should DNS and leave immediately and NOT go to the start line
• Warm ups must be conducted independently and competitors should warm up on the road individually.  The use of turbo trainers are not allowed for warming up as we do not have sole use of the car park and could have a negative perception so needs to be avoided.
• Social distancing must be complied with at all times including the start area.
• Due to Covid-19 competitors can now pay before the event online direct into a bank account. In order to arrange this please Email: eveningleague@seacroftwheelers.co.uk.  (we will try to respond within 48 hours). If you cannot pay on line via your bank account and you need to pay in cash on the night, please bring the exact money £5.00 per rider.
• There will be no pusher off
• You will be advised at the sign in of the event how many minutes before your start time that you are allowed to enter the start area.
• Numbers will have been cleaned and after there will be a bucket of hot soapy water for you to put your number in.
• You must not leave any personal possessions with the time keeper.
• Competitors must bring their own pens and wear face coverings for signing on.  
• Competitors on finishing should not stop at the finish or loiter in the HQ/car park.  Upon completion of their ride all competitors should pack away and leave immediately.
• Unless using a skin suit competitors must bring their own safety pins to secure their number.
• No results will be available on the night so please don’t wait to see your times they will be posted on the website as soon as possible.
• No spectators should be encouraged to attend.
• People should be reminded that they will be no socialising with others in the car park and should upon leaving their car, get their bike out and go straight out onto the road to warm up. A large collection of people has a negative perception and should be avoided.
