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 events@wpcycling.com. 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.
