From 2020 it is now compulsory for every rider to use a red rear red light in CTT events. You will not be allowed to start any CTT time trial if you do not have a working rear red light, either flashing or constant, that is illuminated and in a position that is clearly visible to other road users.

Standard Time Trial Times and Distances

Time Trials are a test of rider and machine against the course and the conditions on the day. To reward Mid Shropshire Wheelers members the club offers “standard medals” at all distances when standard times are beaten. Riders need to claim their standard at the end of the season from the Time Trial Secretary and medals are presented at the Annual Prize Presentation.
