Saturday August 7, 2010 – Time Trial

Start:
1st rider will start at 9:00 am with 1 minute intervals between riders. Starting order will be determined at the

There will be a ramp from which the riders will start.

Distances:
Juvenile Boys: 18KM
Junior Boys: 18KM
Junior Girls: 18KM

Course Description, Notes & Profile:

Due to road construction, the course had to be modified. Riders will do 3 full laps of 6 Km each, for a total of
18Km.

• The race start is approximately 3 km from the event hotel and competitors will be expected to ride to
the event. No transportation will be provided for bicycles or competitors. Limited transportation will
be available to team managers and support staff.
• The course is completely closed off for motor traffic. However, riders must remain aware that vehicles
could get on the course and ride safely. In the event of a motor vehicle getting on to the course riders
are not to take assistance from the vehicle and will be disqualified by the Commissaire if they do so.
• The roads are all newly paved and it is a relatively flat course.
• The entire course is on a 2-lane road, meaning that there is enough space on the road for riders to
overtake another rider without having to draft.
• At the start, riders have to remain on the left lane, allowing for riders that are already on the course to
use the right lane.
• Upon completion of all 3 laps, riders have to abandon the course by veering to the right side of the
road.
• There will be no following support vehicles permitted and no mechanical support.
• Feeding on the course is not permitted.
• Riders not present for their allotted start time will be started as soon as possible after they arrive at the
start but will be given an elapsed time starting from their scheduled start time.
• Warming up on the course will not be permitted.
• Time trial awards will be presented following the road race on Sunday.

Distances:
Juvenile Boys: 80KM (8 laps)
Junior Boys: 60KM (6 laps)
Junior Girls: 50KM (5 laps)

Course Description, Notes & Profile:

• The race circuit runs along the same road, meaning that the riders can only use 1 side of the road, as
they will pass twice on the same course in order to complete 1 full lap. This is a single lane road.
• Riders must not cross the centre line, except for safety reasons, or if directed to do so by a race official.
Crossing the centre line to gain an advantage will lead to disqualification.
• There will only be 2 turning points on this course, of which one will be through a roundabout. The first
turning point will be left U- turn. However, the road is wider at this point, allowing riders to comfortably
make this turn without losing too much speed.
• Feeding is not permitted on the first lap, the second to last lap and the last lap of each race:
o Juveniles: No feeding laps 1 & 6
o Females: No feeding laps 1 & 5
o Juniors: No feeding laps 1 & 8
• Non-feeding zones will be indicated by the Commissaires. Out-side of this zone, it is allowed to use the
entire course for feeding and/or pit stops.
• Riders who have been lapped by another rider of the same category must abandon race and will be
directed to do so by the Commissaires.
• The awarding of prizes will take place immediately following the conclusion of the Junior road race at
the start/finish area. All participants who are due an award must be in attendance.
• The award of the Team Champions prize will take place at the dinner on Sunday evening.
