Event Calendar

It’s Team Time Trial again!  Time for you and your pals to get together and test yourself against the clock.

This year we’ve decided to include an individual time trial for those who want to go it alone!

Teams of 6 riders each will race around a 30 kilometre circuit twice. How fast can you and your mates ride over fast flat 60 kilometres? Which TEAM will have the bragging rights to being the fastest club in the Cape?

Teams of 6 riders will tackle the circuit twice with the time for the team being recorded when the 4th rider crosses the finish line.

Each team member must register and pay individually, then your Team Captains or a nominated member must email the Team Name and the names and ID numbers of all team members to [email protected]. We need this information by Thursday, 8 April!

The individual time trial will take place over the same course, however this will only be one lap of 30km.

This event does not form part of the WP League.

Categories and seeding

Due to the nature of this event, and the possibility of team mates being allocated into different categories, we will not use the normal categorisation for this event. However, your selection of category during this event will carry through to the races during the rest of the year and automatically be applied to those races.

The 2021 season will follow the new categories and seeding guidelines. In most instances participants will already be allocated to fixed categories based on past races. See the same article on how to improve or change your seeding.

Routes and distances

Team members for the Team Time Trial may consist of all age categories from u/17 and older.  All teams compete over 60km.

A Ladies competition will be dependent on the number of Ladies Teams entered, however we also allow  mixed teams in this race.

The individual time trial will take place on the same route however it will be limited to one lap of 30km.
