The Duo Normand is the main focus for Team Grumpy. Run annually in September/October, it's a 2-up team time trial that attracts a large number of teams drawn from local clubs, from the UK (especially the Channel Islands), and from the rinks of the Elite UCI-registered teams.

Team Grumpy rode in the Duo Normand from 2003 to 2019 (except in 2007).

The appearance of Covid-19 in 2020 lead to the cancellation of the 2020 event, and the Duo Normand has not restarted since (as of 2023). There was an odd event which paired a short run and a short 2-up time trial in May 2022, but this didn't seem to attract much interest.

Team Grumpy still hope that the Duo Normand will reappear on the calendar of events!

Reports of Team Grumpy's rides in UK-based 2-up team time trials.

We usually aim to ride at least one domestic 2-up each season, focussing on the Port Talbot Wheelers 2-up '25' usually held in early March. However, we did not start the 2020 event owing to copious amounts of standing water on the course and shortly after that Covid-19 struck, and almost all timetrialling ceased for the rest of 2020. We entered, but did not start, in 2022 owing to family cicrumstances.
