We have ridden the route to check the details and measure the distances, climbing etc in order to establish "standard times" - categorised in age bands as Gold, Silver & Bronze achievement levels. 
 


The Standard Times for 100 miles are:

Age Group 18 to 39 = 6:30 Gold,  6:50 Silver,  7:20 Bronze.

Age Group 40 to 49 = 6:45 Gold,  7:00 Silver,  7:30 Bronze.

Age Group 50 to 59 = 6:55 Gold,  7:15 Silver,  7:45 Bronze.

Age Group 60+ = 7:20 Gold,  7:40 Silver,  8:10 Bronze. 

The Standard Times for 100 Km are:

Age Group 21 to 29 = 3:30 Gold,  3:50 Silver,  4:15 Bronze

Age Group 30 to 40 = 3:40 Gold,  4:00 Silver,  4:30 Bronze

Age Group 40 to 50 = 3:55 Gold,  4:20 Silver,  4:50 Bronze

Age Group 50 to 60 = 4:10 Gold,  4:35 Silver,  5:00 Bronze

Ladies in general add 20 mins to each category

EVENT TIMING : To manage the number of riders there will be a "flow start" neutralised for safety reasons for the first quarter of a mile (to just beyond the canal bridge)

Riders not starting at 0800 will need to make a note of their start time and adjust the finish time by the appropriate number of minutes, tell the check-in team at the finish. 

Time recording and route following is on an “honesty” basis - rider cards must be stamped at the Feed Station Controls.

It is NOT a race and times are merely for riders to assess their own personal performance.
