Stage 10 will once again present riders with another change to beat the RWR/ Peak Winter Series TT records held by Aaron Fillion and Biovale’s Natasha Elliot. While the men’s record has been broken in each of the last 2 tt stages attempts and now sits at 34:36.7, the woman’s record of 38:02.6 that was set last year continues to stand .

The TT is the only stage of the 16 race series that is repeated so riders can try to set new course records and personnel PB’s on a profile that will be used once a month throughout the series. Since your first race is free if you have never ridden a Multirider race, the challenge is out to see if anyone can beat Natasha or AAron’s course records.
