The Tuesday TT runs on a legendary course: 16 km out-and-back on Old Tai Tapu Road.

• Fast Out: Often boosted by a northeast wind.
• Tough Back: Dead road surface + northerly breeze = true test of pacing.
• Options: Standard 16 km, plus an 8 km short course if demand is there.

Since the 1980s, this strip of road has seen everyone from elite time trial champions to triathletes sharpening up for their next big race. It’s safe, simple, and brutally honest.
