Winter Reliability Rides
Winter training rides (traditionally known as Reliability Rides) run from January to March. Most of these rides start/finish from a member's home. A hot drink and food (soup/snacks/cake) is usually available. A small donation towards the cost of the refreshments is always appreciated (nominally £2.50). Please leave your cleated cycling shoes outside (or as directed by the householder).
Dates and locations can be found on the Events Calendar Page. All rides start at 9:30am
The aim is to have several groups of riders - turnout numbers permitting. There will normally be two routes as follows;
The A and B groups should both get back at about 12:30. The C group are likely to be back sooner. There is no guarantee that all these groups will run every week - it is dependant on demand on the day.
