BIG INTERVIEW


NEW HORIZONS


Andrea Parish was recently appointed as chair of Cycling Time Trials. She recently told Alex Ballinger about her plans to bring British time trialling into the 21st century


CTT chair Andrea Parish T


he time trial scene in the UK may be niche, but it has been a mainstay in the British cycling landscape and has helped generate some of the


best-known talents from these isles. But time trialling has been at a crossroads in recent times,


as rider numbers tailed off dramatically in 2022, forcing the time trialling governing body, Cycling Time Trials (CTT), to adapt the way it operates. Andrea Parish, the new chair of CTT appointed in


December, already has sweeping plans to bring time trialling to a wider, more diverse audience.


BikeBiz recently sat down with Parish to hear more about


her plans. “I’ve been on the board now for just over a year,” said


Parish, speaking from her home just north of Abergavenny in the Brecon Beacons. “I was elected as the director in December 2021, and then was elected as chair at the AGM in December just gone. “It’s quite an interesting proposition because of course


we’re a 100-year-old institution, but we’re a volunteer-led grassroots institution, and in a modern world that comes with some not inconsiderable challenges.”
