British time trial championships coming up

The British time trial championship will be held on September 3 in Hartley Wintney in Hampshire. The field has been given a boost by the presence of triple Olympic medalist Bradley Wiggins (Cofidis), who will be up against the likes of Michael Hutchinson and Stuart Dangerfield for the title. Others going for the men's title include Mark Atkinson, Richard Prebble, Ben Instone, Matt Bottrill, Gethin Butler, Jason MacIntyre and Paul Mill, while the women will see Julia Shaw, Wendy Houvenaghel, Caroline Kloiber, Ruth Eyles, Lesley-Anne Walkling, Danuta Tinn and Helen Carter fight it out.

The event begins at 9:00am and runs until approximately 5:30pm, with the last rider off at 4:20pm. The many short rolling hills make for an ideal spectator circuit, with the start in Heckfield and the finish outside Wellington Country Park.
