Timing and Standards

Being a cyclosportive, the Autumn Epic will not be run as a race and we will not be awarding prizes or trophies.

However, that doesn’t mean that you won’t get an accurate time or be unable to compare yourself with others. We will be issuing each rider with an electronic timing chip at registration that will be recorded at the start, finish and at the two feed stops.

Individual times will be given to riders immediately at the finish during the day, while the full list of riders’ times will be posted up in the event centre and on this website within 24 hours.

We will award certificates at the finish with Gold, Silver and Bronze standards.

The Gold standard for the Autumn Epic is:

The Silver standard for the Autumn Epic is:

All other finishers will be awarded Bronze. The standards use a formula from French cyclosportives that takes into account both distance and altitude gains.
