Do you mean on a tandem, or on single bikes? Locally we have a couple of team time trial races(everyone on their own bike), but they typically have 4 racers. I'm not sure if there are any team TTs with just two racers...Originally Posted by kelownagirl

I mean single bikes. A tandem would be fun but I am too... hmmm... independent? for lack of a better word - to ride a tandem all the time. I want to ride my own bike. Test myself. So I was imagining m/f pairs TT's, drafting, racing against other couples. Originally Posted by SheFly

I have never heard of paired TTs
Perhaps there is a race designed like this, but I doubt it would be called a TT
The TT is about individual performance, individual power output and individual endurance.
The one exception of course is the team TT - but I have not heard of m/f pairs in a TT...
I do think your idea is an interesting concept and I would be interested to know if anyone out there has heard of such a race... I might suggest it for one of our end of year "fun" events for the club to trial...

Ahhhh... my partner just left for his Sunday morning bunch training ride and as I was helping him and my son sort breakfast, bars, water/glucose water etc etc i asked about m/f TTs.
He said, "you mean 2-up TTs?"
I said... "I dunno, I guess"
He said he didn't know of them happening here in Middle Earth, but overseas they do 2-up TTs and the second person across the line is time recorded for the pair.
So I guess it works like a team TT, but with only two. He wasn't aware of m/f - husband/wife teams as an event. But in much bigger countries like you all have, you're bound to find one in yours!...
