What happens on a reliability ride?
Reliability Rides are for all abilities. Some Reliability Rides will set riders off in groups of average speed varying from 20mph to 12mph with the fastest riders leaving first. Our events start in groups but some may choose to ride the event as a test of their abilities whilst others will ride at a more comfortable pace for banter with other riders.
A warm welcome will be provided for returning riders with hot drinks, cake and possibly even more cake.
Traditionally the route is not signposted but a basic route map or description may be provided. We will provide exact route details in due course. These will be available to entrants as a GPS file.
This year we welcome Cycling Plus to our Reliability Ride. As the UK’s biggest selling cycling magazine, we are really pleased to have them on board. So for the camera, make sure that you look as glamourous as possible in your favourite Lycra.
