Tune Up Tuesday will be on three consecutive Tuesday evenings (GST) starting June 7. Think of it as a short-course, high-pace, and action-packed version of SRC. It will feature weekly stages of approximately 25km each, containing short sprints and K/QOM segments, and you’ll race with riders of similar ability levels.
Every week we receive valuable feedback from competitors in our Sunday Race Club. We’ve heard requests for shorter courses, different segments on the courses, and even the ability to only see your category in the race. We’ve taken on this feedback and developed a brand new racing format that will provide unique and exciting racing, in the middle of the week.
