SGS Cycling Academy are proud to present their weekly time trial series aimed at encouraging riders of all abilities to pitch themselves against some of the top up and coming riders from the UK. Based on the Watopia Tick Tock route, the race distance is 16.1km with 44m of elevation. The course is 'sporting' on a mostly flat profile with some hills in the middle. This is a time trial which should enable 'power houses' and climbers to take advantage of certain sections of the route. Look out for special-guest riders too, you never know who you might be racing against...
