The Short Time Trial (Strava segment) is a flat 9.1 mile individual time trial down River Road in Whately and Hatfield. The course begins at the intersection of Sugarloaf Street Extension and River Road just across the Deerfield line in Whately and ends on Elm Street in Hatfield at the green I-91 sign on the overpass. 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 last two miles, and a short climb on the overpass at the finish. It gains 99 feet over 9.1 miles, for an average gradient of 0.2%.
