General Info

Proudly Hosted by the South Perth Rouleurs

Our team time trial in the Shire of Jarrahdale is back on the same challenging 30km course as last year. Teams will start with an undulating road before descending to the turn around point at the 15km and then experience a challenging climbing.

Teams of 6 riders (minimum 4 riders) with the team time taken from the 4th rider crossing the finish line. Teams will be released on regular intervals of between 1 and 2 minutes depending on number of teams entered.

The Course:

https://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/4386716797

The time trials start initially sending riders Eastwards out along Nettleton Rd, before heading northward and an lovely downhill to the midway point at 15km. The turn around is at the cnr Nettleton and Old Brickworks Rd and teams will head back along the same route with some uphill battles ahead. The course is a challenging 30km out-and-back race over an undulating quiet rural road and climbing upwards over 440m in total.

It is a great warm-up for the Tour of Margaret River for final preparation for your team.

Ride safe, be courteous, obey road rules, listen to race officials and SPR hopes you enjoy the day
