CYCLE COURSE

Battle with your bike on one of the toughest Iron cycle courses in the UK. The course is three loops of 60km, totalling 180km. This stunning cycle route goes through the very best of the Kent Countryside.

Junctions

All key junctions will be marshalled but please remember you will be riding on public roads that are not closed to traffic, so it is your respobsility to ride within the provisions of the Highway Code and give way when necessary.

DNF / CUT OFF TIME

Competitors will have 11 hours after the start of the race to complete the bike course PLUS 15 minutes to leave T2 (total time 11 hours and 15 minutes = DNF if not left T2 by 17:45).

To avoid keeping cycle marshals waiting out on the course, if a cyclist has not completed their 2nd lap 6 hours after the cut off at T1 (ie. by 14:30) they will be given the option to DNF or to continue directly onto the run section of the course.

Litter

Competitors must not drop litter out on the course. If caught littering you will be disqualified.

Respect For All

Please respect all other competitors, event staff and members of the public as you race.

Bikes

Remember all athletes are recommended to use road/triathlon bikes. If you are a strong rider a TT bike is recommended.

Feed Stations

There will be feed stations out on the bike course. Please see the fuel page for more details.
