What is a Reliability Ride?
In the U.K, a reliability ride is known as a test of a cyclist’s reliability and that of their bike coming out of the winter period. (but this year its an Autumn ride)
The emphasis is on fitness, self-reliance and navigational skills.
The route is not signposted but a GPX file is provided There are no feed stations, timing chips or souvenir t-shirts etc., although refreshments are available following the ride. (Chilli!)
The ride is not a race. Like a normal cycling club ride, it takes place on open roads and without marshals. It is imperative that participants ride responsibly and in accordance with the Highway Code.
Helmets are compulsory and you do ride at your own risk. 3rd party insurance recommended. Check British Cycling or Cycling UK for details.
Reliability Trials are, like Audax events, not races, but rather long distance rides which emphasise fitness, self reliance and navigational skills – the difference being that Reliability trials stipulate the completion of a given route (e.g. 100 miles) within a given time limit (e.g. 8 hours)
If anyone is able to make a batch of chilli for Sunday, we would be very grateful. All costs of ingredients will be reimbursed (keep your receipts). Ideally dropped off at Wickham community centre from 0800 or before 1000. And if it’s in a slow cooker then that’s even better but, not essential. Thanks in anticipation
