Spring has sprung and the triathlon season is upon us! However, we also have a thriving time trialling scene in the north east. Last year I put together a post on how to get into time trialling. The season kicked off yesterday at Belsay with a windy day at the Hilly 21.

In this post, I’ll highlight the best races for beginners and women to take part in. This will be mainly avoiding dual carriageway courses (except for one or two that are reasonably safe) and particularly tough courses like the long events in the Pennines and Borders.

Open events

Where the female entries are separated out, follow the link the that event. It’s the same event, on the same day, but the females will go off as their own group after the open category.

Club events

Club events run during the week. Some overlap with open events above but the majority you can just turn up and enter on the night. All you need to do is bring cash to the marked location. You can find the full list on the CTT Website.

I’m interested!
