CUT-OFF TIMES

Cut-off Times

For safety reasons and so our support teams can assist all participants effectively there are cut-off points on the Grande and Medio Routes to make sure riders get back before the timing system closes.

Event Timing will close at 17:30 hrs

If you finish after this time you may not have an official finish time recorded. Riders of all routes should aim to finish before 17:00 hrs.

Grande

After 11am
YOU WILL BE DIVERTED onto Medio route
If you know you may be riding slower, please start with the earlier Grande waves.

Medio

Cold East Cross 14 miles

By 11am

After 11am

Your Electronic Timing Chip will automatically register when you pass through any Timing Points.

The timing points are at the following locations:
Start Timing Point on Clay Pits Way - Kingsteignton (Official medal time starts here)
Princetown Prison for Medio & Grande routes only
Closed Road Hill Climb segment near Challacombe
Finish Timing Point same as start timing point on Clay Pits Way - Kingsteignton (Official medal time ends here)

You do NOT have to ride in to Feedstations for timing

The first 2.2 mile neutral zone from Newton Abbot Racecourse to the Clay Pits Way Start Timing Point is not timed and from the Finish Timing Point back to Newton Abbot Racecourse is also NOT timed.

Switching Route

If you want to switch to a different route before you start
Tell the registration staff when you collect your Ride Pack.
A sticker will be applied to your number and your entry will be moved to your preferred route.

If you are out riding your chosen route and need to swap distance
Just ride the shorter route and the timing chip will pick up your new route times automatically.
When you finish tell the Medal desk that you switched route.
