Timings and Standards Update: 1st Dec 2011
Route Safety Changes:
1. All cyclists
  • As a result of detailed discussions with Thames Valley Safety Advisory Group there will be a temporary traffic management control in place at A339 roundabout crossing from Pinchington Road into Monks Lane AT to enable all cyclists to cross safely.
  • You must follow the instructions given by the marshals.
2. The 127mile MagnifiCat and 81mile InterCat cyclists
  • The GPS map and new route sheets reflect the changes.
3. Timing Standards for all ride distances
  • North Hampshire Road Club and Cycle Club Basingstoke riders have been cycling the routes to assess the provisional timing standards set in December 2009.
  • Their recommendations are that the published ride times should stand.
  • The timing standards will be updated with the changes above.
  • Age Category will be determined as age on 1st June 2011
  • Standards are calculated using UCI guidelines
4. Unexpected last minute route changes
  • In the event we have to make any last minute route adjustments to the courses, we will re-calculate the time standards based on the new distances.
