What is a Reliability trial?

A reliability trial is a ride which challenges a rider to complete a course within a preset time limit. Such events are often held in the wintry opening months of the year and are used by cyclists as training rides.
The term is historic when cycling equipment was less reliable, roads were rougher ( Maybe?), routes were more poorly sign-posted.
Reliability trial riders needed to be self-sufficient, adept at navigation, able to deal with mechanical problems, and fit enough to complete the course.

The events is open to riders of all ages; however,
