Sunday is a 40 km time trial for the World Masters Time Trial Challenge.
Eight Masters’ clubs from three provinces in Canada, Australia and England will race the 40 km distance on their own turf and compare those times as to which club has the most riders who beat their age class standard. The highest total wins the competition. Race time is 10:00 am at the Cecil Lake gravel pit.
