I read on yesterday (30th jan 2024) live blog that the CTT has seen a 42% participation increase in 2023 thanks to the introduction of the Road Bike category. This news was surprising but welcome, and shows that the TT scene in the UK still has hope for the future. There are still a lot of challenges that the CTT and affiliated clubs face, but if Time Trialling's popularity continues to grow thanks to being more accessible then it makes some other challenges easier.
