Route:
Just under 40km in total the route is a flat and fast out and back time trial.

Description:
All ability levels are welcome. Any bike type is welcome as well (no e-Bikes). People have raced on road, TT, cross/gravel and MTB’s, recumbents etc.

There are two categories “Aero” and “Road Bike”:

  • Aero: Anything goes (No UCI restrictions)
  • Road: No clip on aerobars, no TT disc rear wheels, no TT specific helmet. (Aero road helmets are fine)

If you have clip on aerobars on your road bike you can still race, you’ll just be slotted into the aero category.

If you have specific questions prior to your ride please ask here.

Thanks and see you there!

Is there a Strava segment that can be posted ahead of time? Thanks!

I think this is it. We did this a couple years ago: WCC_Long_TT | Strava Ride Segment in North Perth, Ontario

If so, seed me at 55:00.

Yup, that’s the one. I have also added it to the WCC library on Ride With GPS.

It’s just under 40km, about 39.5km or so. I’m betting you’ll be 52-53mins based on your super fast Streicher line time.

As for me you can put me down for 55:30. (Far cry from my 53min PR but I’m old and slow now). :slight_smile:

Course is exactly 39 km… with 75m of elevation gain. It is very open countryside, but we can hope for light winds. I will be at the Public School for 9:15 to sign people in. You can do a quick warm up on the course, or head East on Perth Line 72 for a few kilometers. It’s very flat and the roads are in great shape (or they were last time i was out there).

Once we have most people signed in, I will send riders out at 1 - 2 minute intervals. (will depend on number of participants and expected finish times.)

Thank you for showing your interest and posting your estimated times. I will take that into account when I seed the start list. Please invite friends to come out and partake in the suffering… we welcome all comers.

Fingers crossed for favourable weather and fast times. Hope to see you Sunday A.M.

It looks like it should work out for me, so if it’s 39 km let’s go 58:29 :wink:.

Awesome result by everyone. That tailwind coming back made you all feel like a pro! Once I return home I’ll post the results, but wanted to thank you all for coming out.

Special thanks to @Scottmac for manning the turn around and picking up the signs. (I found all the lag bolts!) Your help was greatly appreciated!! Next time I’ll be better prepared and give you the drill. :rofl:

Fantastic job everyone! Results pending. :wink:
