Time Trial
This course is a flat course and will have a uphill climp of 133 m/418 ft. This makes the course perfect for Time Trial and ideal for new records; both personal and in Gran Fondo regi.
The course follows the beautiful coast along the Limfjord.
In Denmark we have wind from West approx. 220 days a year which means that you normally will discover headwind on your way out and a nice tailwind on your way back to the finish line.
The course is almost identical to the course used in 2022 and 2023 for the National Championships in Denmark. In June this year Mrs. Emma Norsgaard Bjerg, Movistar (Winner of the 6th stage at Tour de France – femmes) won the national championships in TT. And the Men Elite was won by Mr. Kasper Asgreen, Soudal-Quickstep (stage winner 18th stage at Tour de France 2023 and winner of Tour of Flanders 2021). Both these riders loved this course and their feedback was clear – this is a perfect Time Trial course!
Distance: 33 km and 133 m / 20,7 miles and 418 ft.
