How are the start times allocated?
Start times are allocated between 6.50am and 8.30am and riders start in waves of 60 every two minutes. This is done to stagger the starts so that not too many people set-off at one time. We allocate the start times based on how far from the start people live, with the people living furthest away getting the latest start times. Team members get allocated the same start time and this is again based on the distance people live from the start.
