Event Series One

This is the first of 7 events in the series. This event is an Individual Time Trial at Casey Fields.

Individual Time Trial (ITT)

ITT’s will require individuals to compete on their own in a race against the clock. Riders will complete multiple laps of a closed circuit and winners will be decided on their overall time judged as when they cross the start/finish line for the final time. Competitors can benchmark their ongoing performances by making improvements in time either individually or against their peers. The first event is a grading event and all riders will be graded into A,B,C or D depending on their results and age group.
