— What is Speed league
A New Kind of Time Trial League
The GYCC Speed League is a fresh collaborative evolution of the GYCC TT League, created to bring new energy to local racing and make time trialling more accessible, rewarding and exciting for more riders. Across six fortnightly Thursday race meetings, your best five results count towards the overall standings… and because points reward progression, anyone can win.
A collaborative initiative between GYCC & TPR Events
Speed League is not just about who is fastest on the night. Its progression-based points system rewards personal improvement, consistency and effort, giving first-timers, club riders and experienced testers all something meaningful to race for. The more you improve, the more points you earn… making every ride count.

Powered by local riders, clubs, and businesses passionate about growing cycling in our community.
— Why Change Tradition?
Reviving local racing for more riders
Local time trialling has always been an important part of the cycling scene… but in recent years, participation has declined and fewer riders are stepping up to the start line.
The Speed League is about evolving with the times… keeping what makes racing great while making it more accessible, welcoming and rewarding for today’s riders.
By removing barriers, supporting progression and creating a clearer path for new and experienced riders alike, the goal is simple… rebuild a stronger, more inclusive local racing community.
Because protecting local racing means helping it evolve.
