All routes have been given their own start time range. Please note, you must start in the start time range for your chosen route.

Start Zone
When you are ready to start, make your way to the Start-Zone, our marshals will be happy to guide you. If riding with friends or family, pre-arrange a meet point and then go to the Start-Zone together.

Start-Lane
When it is time for your route to start the marshals will call riders of that route only forward into the start-lane.
Please DO NOT enter the start-lane unless your route has been called.

Start-Group
As you reach the front of the start-lane you will split in to a start-group (approx 100 riders). Each group will set off at 6 minute intervals behind a lead out vehicle.

The first part of your ride (2.2 miles) is neutralised and is NOT included in your medal time. Please remain as one group behind your lead out vehicle. They will guide you out of the built-up area to Clay Pits Way. From here you will be able to continue at your own pace.

The Clock Starts Here
You will pass through the first Timing Point on Clay Pits Way. This is the START of your official ride time. The clock will keep ticking until you return through this same point at the end of your ride.

PLEASE NOTE:
ALL riders MUST start before 09:00 hrs (unless delayed by the organisers for safety reasons)
The timing clock continues ticking until you return (even at the feedstations)
