Shelly Bay Team Time Trial

TTT bradley wiggins

The second OTB Team Time Trial (TTT)  for the year is scheduled to be held this Saturday starting at 7:30am for safety reasons. The 26km out and back course start/finish line is at the Chocolate Fish Cafe  carpark (100 Shelly Bay Road).  Get a team together and let us know your team name and riders taking part or enter as an individual and we will place you in a team.  

The first one in February was went well with the USOs entering 3 teams which added a bit of interest with a bit of inter club rivalry!

 If you are not riding in the TTT but able to marshal or you have a partner/wife/friend who would be happy to help out, please let me know (we need about 2-3 Marshals).

Please reply to this email by Friday to allow us to organise the teams and decide if there is adequate interest. The current forecast is for fine weather on Saturday. 

If the weather is doubtful, cancellations will be made on the Onslow Tarbabies Facebook site and website by 10pm Friday.
