Best British All Rounder

The Best British all Rounder (BBAR) is a competition for time trialist’s where the average speed is taken from a riders best time of the season over 3 distances: 50 Miles, 100 Miles and 12 Hours (how far you can go in that given time).

The rides happen all over the country and you only need 1 ride for each distance.

This was created in the 1930′s so people could compete in a national competition without traveling over the country.

In 2008 & 2009 it was won by Farnborough and Camberley CC rider Nik Bowdler with an average speed in 2009 of 27.206.

This year I had the privilege of riding a 10 mile club Time trial with Bowdler – he beat me by around 5 minutes and that was my personal best for the season :D .

There is also a Women and Junior BBAR: the Women competition is run over distances of 25, 50 and 100 miles meanwhile the Junior have average speeds taken from two 10 mile TT’s and two 25 mile TT. The men also have a 2 distance BBAR.

If my times next year are strong I might enter the Junior BBAR.
