The course will again take you through the historic village of Thaxted past the 600 year old Guildhall and Thaxted Church.
Here's what Rik Van Looy said about our event in 2001:-
"Following Tony Bell's recent article about time trialling, and having just competed in the Easterly Hilly 27.5 mile time trial this weekend, why o why can't we have more of these superb events. Promoted over an undulating, technical and challanging, traffic free course. Well marshalled including direction arrows, and mileage boards. Close and keen competition, with a generous prize list. It was a joy (well a lot of pain and suffering actually) to compete in. Surely this is the way forward, but without organisers getting the support from us the competitors, to encourage them to put on these type of events, what hope do we have of moving this area of the sport into modern times. So all time trialists, the next time you are looking through the hand book, how about giving this type of event a try, you might just like it !!"
