Club TTs and Hill Climbs 2024 Season

The trees have buds on them, the spring equinox is just round the corner and we are about to shed the mudguards.  This can mean only one thing, and that is that it is time to cast your minds towards the club TTs and hill climbs.

Run on Tuesday evenings and free to Mitre members (£5 for non-members), this year we have 8 events including a interclub TT.

Full details of all the events can be found on the CTT website here.  No need to pre-register, just turn up on the evening.  Entries close 18.50, first rider off at 19:00.

All the events are run on a “Come and Try it” basis and there is no barrier to entry.  All you will need to comply with regulations is a working front and rear light and a helmet.  You don’t need a TT bike or a pointy helmet for TT as there is a road bike category.  You don’t need a sub 5kg bike to do a hill climb.  Just turn up, have a laugh and give it a crack.    Whether you consider it a training ride, an opportunity to better your PB or see how close you can get to the time of our very own National TT Champion (Road Bike) Cris Coxon, it doesn’t matter.  They are fun social events and all local enough so that you can ride to and from the event if desired.  For the TTs there is a TT bike category and a road bike category but no bike categories for the hill climbs.  In both there is an open and a female category.

Join the Brighton Mitre Committee!

We’re a community sports club driven by passionate volunteers. As we gear up for our Annual General Meeting on February 26, 2024, we’re on the lookout for new committee members.

No specific role in mind? No problem! What matters is your positive contribution. Let’s chat about how you can make a difference. We’re especially keen on involving our younger members—the future of the club is in your hands.

No need to worry about a heavy workload; many hands make light work. If you express interest now, you might even get the chance to shadow a committee member and take the reins in 2025.

Existing committee members will not take your enthusiasm as a critique of their performance but an opportunity for fresh perspectives.

Ready to shape the future of Brighton Mitre? Reach out, and let’s talk about your contribution to the committee!

FINAL TIME TRIAL OF THE SEASON IN SUSSEX

The club’s 55th annual 25 miles time trial was held at Loxwood on Sunday 22 October with 41 riders competing for some of the £1,287 prize list. After particularly wet days on both Wednesday and Saturday, a dry and sunny day was most welcome. Chris McNamara, Sigma Sports RT, produced a brilliant performance in 52:23, 83 seconds ahead of the Mitre’s Cris Coxon who had won the event in 2021. Without our best riders to back him, we were unable to take the team award this year.
