We started the 2010 season of the Bangalore Bicycle Championships with a kick-ass Individual Time Trial
The Race was awesome with some phenomenal turn out. Good to see a sea change from last year – better bikes, better timings and lot of people who seem to have taken bicycle racing a tad more seriously.
We are definitely heading down the right path.
Rolling Trophies
One of the highlights were the BBCh Rolling Trophies which were handed over to last year Winners – Georg and Manjula.
Congratulations guys. Enjoy it over this season and showcase it for all its worth !
Thanks to Mr 69 (a.k.a Vivek) for spending a lot of time in making this trophy happen. We gave him some old sprockets and he turned them into magical trophies at his playground at KYNKYNY. An avid biker, a very good friend and also a manager of a wonderful racing team – kynkyny racing. Fantastic Job dude !

What is an Individual Time Trial ?
“An individual time trial is a road bicycle race in which cyclists race alone against the clock” – wikipedia
They forgot to add its loads of fun !
More details on the Race
There are various threads on the awesome BangaloreBikersClub covering various facets of the upcoming race. Feel free to jump into any of these threads and contribute.
You could also get a lot of info about the upcoming race on the official BBCh site.
Aid
All riders must carry all items that they think they would require on the race. There will be aid station(s) providing banana/electrolyte/water refills and an emergency medical kit for cuts and bruises.
Please do try and be self sufficient.
Registration
Apart from your name, email-id and participation level (racer/volunteer) you will need to enter a Jersey number while registering. If you dont have one, we will give you one.
Since the Jersey number assignment is not automated it will take some time for your name to appear in the Riders list so don’t worry.
Preparation
Read the FAQ, Rules and Safety information
Please remember to check your emails on Saturday for route details and driving directions.
Spread the word
These events are great fun and a great place to meet up with fellow cyclists (newbies, gurus and everyone in between). Let your friends know and don’t worry if you ain’t got the fancy jerseys and shorts – the torn jeans and faded tees are just fine as long as you get your helmet, gloves and a bike that you can ride :)
Ride Safe. And a fantastic racing season to all of you.
