do you only count competition time trial as confirmed time?

on my road bike with rucksack. slightly downhill overall but uphills are steep :oops:

For a proper CTT time, the 10 miles has to be over a verified course, with 2 official time keepers.
If you are just setting a time for yourself to compete against then any 10 miles will count I suppose. TT courses are generally out and back, with start and finish points within a certain distance of each other.
If you really want to do a proper 10 mile TT, get along to a club event near you, most would be happy for you to pay a few quid and sign on as a private entrant.0 -
For official purposes yes, and it would need to be a course that is out and back over at least the majority of its length. An official time would need to be taken over a recognised, measured course in an official event.
However, as a guide time to try to beat for your own purposes then any set distance would be fine but you need to remember that if you are timing yourself on a one way course that the wind speed and direction can pllay a major part.0 -

Find your nearest 10 mile TT course and use that if you want a good idea (just remember that a TT is done from a standing start).0
