CREATED BY DOUG TAYLOR

FIRST AWARDED 1997

CLUB OPEN TIME TRIAL CHAMPIONSHIP
BASED ON 10, 25, 50 AND HARDRIDERS

John Else joined Wheelers after moving to Chippenham in 1968.  He rode for Wheelers then, till 2000, with most of his racing being in time trials , although he also rode cyclo cross and road events.  He was racing secretary for a few years and partly from his background, where results against competitors counted for awards, rather than times he suggested a time trial Championship based  on results rather than times, to stand alongside the Road and Track Championships.

The two watches on the Wooden T.T. Trophy are the time pieces used by the club timekeepers before the digital era.
