Reliability Rides Winter 2014

[Philip Whiteman]

LIST UPDATED: 1st NOV

David Prior of Wyre Forest has usefully compiled of reliability trials for local club use. Please contact the clubs concerned if you require details on exact start points and times. If I learn of further information, then I shall update this list.

"Reliability Trials are, like Audax events, not races, but rather long distance rides which emphasise fitness, self reliance and navigational skills - the difference being that Reliability Trials normally stipulate the completion of a given route (e.g. 100 miles) within a given time limit (e.g. 8 hours), whereas Audax is all about completing a route as close as possible to a set average speed."
