Testers seek out other interests

CTT working group aims to win back members after revealing survey

- James Shrubsall, Simon Richardson

Finding new interests is the biggest reason for time triallists not racing this year, a Cycling Time Trials survey indicates, while many simply say they are giving up time trialling or competition full stop.

The survey was sent out in April as the result of low participation numbers that were causing events to be cancelled and saw even some popular events with 50 percent fewer starters than in previous years. It received a healthy response rate of 12%, with 900 separate comments addressing a very wide range of issues.
