What's this TT/road bike thing all about?
Well, you can enter a TT on a special TT bike with aero bars and, you know, the whole fancy go faster helmet. Or you can just turn up on your normal road bike. Clearly you will (should) go faster on a fancy aero bike so these get put in a separate category. When you turn up on your normal road bike you are only "racing" other road bikes.
TT are "raced" by yourself on public roads, normally early on a Sunday morning so the roads are less busy. Racers get set off at one minute intervals, so you are by yourself on the open road. Young riders are allowed to have a chaperone riding behind them.
The aim of a TT is to get the fastest time, either to win or just to be better than you did last time.
Never has it been so easy to get involved with TT in Cornwall. For the road bike league Kernow Racing Team (KRT) are covering the cost of CTT, the governing body of TT's, fees. Making the road bike league even better value.
Like Wheal Velocity, KRT are passionate about getting youngsters into riding bikes. For 2025 KRT are offering free entry to their events (not national or ladies event) for young riders, under 18's.
If TT is your thing of you fancy giving it a go then keep an eye on the KRT Facebook for further information and booking details.
If you want to take advantage of the U18's free entry you must get in touch with KRT before the closing date of online entry.
Did you scan read that?
Here are the absolute basics for entering a TT,
1. You must enter online via the CTT website, entre closes about about a week before the event. (unless you are under 18, than contact KRT as its free!!)
2. You must be 12 or over to enter, you can have a "support" rider following you if you so wish. This is common for younger riders who are worried about being on the road.
3. You can enter on any bike, not electric. Yes I have seen people TT on a mountain bike and why not, you are only racing the clock.
4. Most important one last. You must turn up at your start time with working front and rear lights. Even in the middle of the day, this is a hard rule set by CTT.
The Michael Rosam memorial ride.
Run by our freinds at Penzance Wheelers.
Note, there will be an off road route as well as the two road routes.
"Our annual charity ride and Michael Rosam memorial ride
This is Penzance Wheelers annual charity ride organised and hosted by Mark & Joanne Travis.
The first event was run in 2011 and over the years the club has raised over £15,000 for various charities it supports.
Usual two on road routes leaving Jordans Cafe, Longrock .....
We are also running this year an off-road route.
There will be refreshments at Mark’s house in Pendeen.
Donations to the charity are very welcome - we now also accept card payments as well as cash!
"Mike was a member of the Penzance Wheelers, a good friend and a regular on our weekday rides. Last autumn, not far from Praze an Beeble, whilst on one of our weekday rides he suffered a massive heart attack and despite receiving prompt CPR and the speedy arrival of the emergency services, he did not survive. Mike was an enthusiastic all weather rider and is missed by us all”.
Over the past year the club has also funded first aid training, from club funds, for 15 club membersl
It would be great to see as many cyclists as we can come and join us. Previous years we've had cyclists from all areas of the sport, from racers, club cyclists, ebikers, off roaders - it doesn't matter you'll all be welcome!"
