The Viking Road Club 50 was one of the classic Essex time trials reliably producing fast times on the Southend Road and later on the A12. Sadly, the event had its last running in the 1990s and in 2017 the Viking Road Club was disbanded. Cambridge CC is now resurrecting the classic event on the record-breaking E2/50c course east of Cambridge.
There will be a BBAR-qualifying event for 80 riders in addition to the VTTA event for 40 riders. Preference for the VTTA event will be given to EA VTTA members, for the EA VTTA 50 mile Group Championship. EA VTTA members who qualify for the BBAR event can enter and ride that and still be part of the VTTA event. Any VTTA member who enters the BBAR event but gets rejected from that will be switched to the VTTA event if possible.
