50 mile Reliability Ride - next Sunday 15th Feb, leaving Bird Hills at 8:45am
Submitted by David Dyer on 11 February 2015 - 8:26am
A reminder that next Sunday we will stage our Reliability Ride over 80km of a flattish course south of the A4. Reliability Rides are simple early season training events that were run by cycling clubs many years before Sportives and Audaxes. We revived ours five years ago to give those who usually do our Sunday morning rides and anyone else a chance to get together for an early season ride.
It will be a good opportunity for the 2 Sunday groups to meet up (if only at the start and finish!). We expect to have a number of groups out with differing speeds (last year the 22 riders split into 3 or 4 groups). So it gives anyone who wanted to try and ride with a faster group an opportunity to do so with the comfort that if they drop behind there will be slower riders following. If you don't wish to go fast, be assured that I will be with a back group making sure everyone gets round ok.
The route is the same as in previous years. I have emailed members with downloads of the route.
