Charlie Baker Time Trial Series 7/22/2026

The Concord-Carlisle Time Trial presents an exhilarating experience for cyclists of all levels. This non-competitive ride allows participants to enjoy the scenic routes of northern Massachusetts while adhering to strict safety guidelines.
Registration is handled exclusively through BikeReg, ensuring a seamless process with no on-site sign-ups allowed. The deadline for registration stands firm at 4:30 PM on race day; after this time, no late entries will be accepted. Participants are advised that their start order will be determined by the date and exact time they registered.
A mandatory riders' meeting is scheduled to begin promptly at 6:00 PM in the designated lot area. This gathering serves as a crucial opportunity for last-minute instructions and team-up before setting off on your journey.
For those planning ahead, membership with the New England Bicycle Club (NEBC) comes highly recommended at just $20. While not mandatory to participate, NEBC members enjoy additional benefits that might enhance their overall experience.
The course map is available online, providing detailed routes for both novice and seasoned riders alike. The ride will follow established paths through Concord and Carlisle, offering a mix of urban and rural landscapes. Participants should be prepared with a working bicycle and helmet as these are essential requirements to join the event.
Weather conditions play a significant role in race decisions. Should severe weather or road construction pose challenges, organizers reserve the right to cancel the event early via email notifications sent directly to participants. In such cases, registrants will receive a coupon code valid for future events of their choosing.
Safety is paramount during this time trial. Cyclists are reminded that they represent both Concord and Carlisle as guests; therefore, courteous behavior towards drivers on public roads is expected at all times. Upon crossing the finish line, remember to announce your start number aloud—a tradition that adds a competitive yet friendly atmosphere among participants.
Results will be shared with the community through posts on the NEBC Facebook page and within the Concord Bicycle Time Trial (CBTT) Google group. Whether you're looking for a challenge or simply want to enjoy a scenic ride at your own pace, this event promises an unforgettable experience that celebrates cycling in its purest form.
RIDE SAFELY!
