At times, we receive nice comments and e-mails about the time trials at Charlotte Motor Speedway (TT @ CMS) and the CCTTA web site, but they sometimes question why we don't provide more information and links to other cycling events in the Carolinas. The CCTTA's primary purpose is the production of the TT @ CMS and promotion of time trialing in general. The CCTTA does not have individual members. The CCTTA is comprised of Associated Bike Clubs (ABC) that have a keen interest in assuring the TT @ CMS are successful and that all types of cycling in the Carolinas prosper. The ABCs' individual web sites provide excellent information on all types of cycling events and are better suited for providing information on all type of cycling events. The CCTTA believes that the TT @ CMS and time trialing in general is somewhat of a specialized cycling activity that all cyclists can enjoy and for the foreseeable future our focus will remain on this segment of cycling.
We suggest that you visit the web sites for the ABCs as a good source of information on other cycling events in the Carolinas.
