UWA Nant Time Trials - Route Guide and Details
The UWA MTb club is organising a series if MTB Time Trials again this winter. Everyone is welcome to join in so here are the details.
First off, these events do not run themselves and Brodie (UWA) would appreciate volunteers where possible to help with timing duties
during the afternoon, you won't get cold and wet, all you have to do is sit in a car and write down the time shown on the watch when
each rider passes by. He will then calculate each riders time, so you don't even have to do the Maths!
It is possible for Brodie to time and ride, but it can be a pain if there aren't many riders. So make life easy, everyone ride as many
as you can!
ALL riders must complete an entry form for the series before participating in any event.
Entry is £1 per event.
Only once ALL riders are back in will people be allowed to look at their times.
Points are best 8 from 10 before the Christmas break, these will then be added to your points gained from semester 2 in order to
calculate your overall position.
Handicap points are calculated by your best 7 from 9.
Event dates and venues are as follows, the standard Nant TT, 1 Lap events start at 1400 from hippity hop carpark, other rounds will be
confirmed shortly.

I, and they, appreciate that most people work so won't be able to make the afternoon ones so they have slotted in a couple of weekend
TTs so that more riders can come along.
Main point of these is that you are only racing yourself, not anyone else and the idea is to improve on your times to show that you are
improving with any riding/training that you are doing. If you can't make any of them but would like to know the course so that you can
ride it and compare yourself then take a look at this Google Earth file which contains the
UWA Nant Time Trial course route.
Basically it starts at the Pendam Car park, goes along the top of the bank by Llyn Pendam and down over the rocky step. Then along the
two bits of single track on the pendam trail that take you to Llyn Blaenmelindwr. From here you go through the gate and up across the
moorland section of the Summit Trail. As you join back onto the fire-roads at the bottom go left at the junction, through the gate and
then down the slippery little bit of trail to the left of the road before cutting across and onto the top of the Mark of Zorro. Down
the mark of Zorro and then up the leg burner to the junction. Straight across and then along the single track at Spaghetti junction
before heading off along the eastern side of Llyn Blaenmelindwr and the rooty singletrack that runs along the right hand side of the
road. Around the hairpin bend on the road, along the road and then up the little fire road climb to the top of the Hippity Hop. Down
Hippity Hop to the finish.
