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 three routes as follows;
The speeds stated above are a rough guide and may vary with group make up and terrain or weather. Groups may also split into smaller groups if the numbers in a group become unsafe. By starting all the groups at the same time it will be possible for riders to assess the proposed routes, weather and number of riders turning up and decide which group they wish to join.
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.
