Fancy testing your legs and your fitness this year? The Norwood Paragon, Reigate’s premier cycling club, is holding a series of time trials throughout the summer on various recognised courses near to Reigate.
These events can be ridden on either time trial bikes or standard road bikes, and there is a separate prize list for both. It’s a race against the clock with everyone looking to set the fastest time they can. The only stipulation is that you wear a protective cycling helmet and have a working front and rear light attached to your bike. The rest is simple. Just ride as fast as you can around the route.
These are friendly, social events but there is also a prize up for grabs with male and female series winner crowned at the end of the year in both road bike and TT bike categories. 2022 winner was Sam Greenwood, scoring 36 points from four events.
If you’d like to come along to any of these events, or find out a bit more information, please contact us via info@norwoodparagon.co.uk we’d be only too happy to tell you more.
