If the name Tim Smith sounds familiar to you, there might be a reason for that – last year he stepped in and pulled one of time trialling's most iconic races – the National 24-Hour Championships – from the brink of extinction, after its former longtime organisers stepped down.
He'll be organising the race again this year, but other things will be competing for his time – his role as new chair of Cycling Time Trials (CTT), for example. He was elected January's AGM – a meeting that has been characterised as a tumultuous affair that saw the resignation of numerous former directors as well as former chair Andrea Parish, whose legacy includes the successful road bike category and a new website, built from the ground up.
