General Info

Proudly Hosted by the South Perth Rouleurs

This year we have changed location of the team time trial to the Shire of Jarrahdale, on a course similar to Stage one for the Tour of Margaret River.

The Perth Dauphane to the ToMR.

Teams of 6 riders (minimum 4 riders) and the 4th rider will stop the clock. Teams will be released on regular intervals of between 1 and 2 minutes.

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 downhill. The turn around is at the cnr Nettleton and Old Brickworks Rd and teams will head back with some uphill battles ahead. The course is a challenging 31km out-and-back riding over an undulating quiet rural road with total climbing over 440m.

It is a great warm-up for the Tour of Margaret River to train your team skills.

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