The Long Time Trial (Strava segment) is a flat 18.2 mile individual time trial along River Road in Hatfield, Whately and Hatfield again. The course begins at the green I-91 sign on the overpass on Elm Street in Hatfield, and proceeds north on River Road into Whately, turning around at the grassy triangle on the left at the Sugarloaf Street Extension at mile 9.1, and then proceeding back to the starting line. Riders are responsible for their own timing, so make sure that you have a cycle computer or watch. You must come to a complete stop at the start line. Drafting is not allowed. Riders will leave in 30 second intervals, starting loosely from slow to fast. The course is almost totally flat, apart from some very low rollers in the first and last two miles, and a short climb on the overpass at the finish. It gains 184 feet over 18.2 miles, for an average gradient of 0.2%.
