Road Racing

The Darren Smith Classic race is our big road race event of the year.

Time Trial

Time Trial races are generally held once a month on a Monday afternoon and are a run as a Handicap Time Trial.
The Gold Coast Cycling Club is hosting a round of 2024 Time Trial Weekend – a 3 round series held on the first weekend in January.

A riders 10 Mile Time Trial Handicap is currently devised using the following method: best time in the last 12 months and subtract 20mins. Then subtract another 5%. If the best time was 25:00 then the handicap would be calculated:
25:00 – 20:00 = 5:00
5:00 – 5% = 4:45

If the rider has less than 4 sessions recorded they loose another 12.5% for each less than 4. If the rider whose handicap we calculated above had only completed 2 sessions then we would subtract 25% of the handicap.
4:45 – 25% = 3:33

On the day of the handicap if the rider posted a time of 24:35 then their handicap time would be 21:02.
24:35 – 3:33 = 21:02
