Title: Reliability Rides 2018
Post by: Andy H on January 08, 2018, 01:33:44 PM
The proposed dates for the reliability rides are:-

RR1 Sunday 11th February

RR2 Sunday 18th February

RR3 Sunday 4th March

RR2 & 3 are on 'rest days' of the Six Nations, RR1 is the day after the England game, if Wales win, no excuses about your hangover. RR1 is too important!

For those new to Reliability rides there is plenty of info, including maps at the 'On Your Bike' tab on front page of website. The idea is to ride on feel, no computers or watches, to a pace of your choosing, either in a group or if you prefer solo.
If you want any more information speak to me or any of committee at club night.

Next club night is this Friday 12th January.

Links to courses for reliability rides:-

RR1  https://www.strava.com/segments/14027409

RR2 https://www.strava.com/routes/11657510

RR3 https://www.strava.com/routes/11657610

Apologies for different formats and hope the links work OK

One note regarding RR1. The course as it is on the link is 80km and that doesn't include going to the second roundabout at Llantwit.
i.e. course is B4265 Wick Rd then at roundabout at Llantwit turn left on B4270 Llantwit Major Rd to Cowbridge

Think you need to be logged into Garmin account to access, so I’ll try and find the strava versions and put them up.

Sorry don’t have strava versions of RR2&3 so will have to’create’ them.
I’ll put the links up in the week.

Excellent, I think RR2 is a tough one for newer riders, especially if the weather’s not good

With the current weather situation (currently you about 1ft of snow in Llantwit) is this going to be a good idea this weekend?

RR3 Zwift version? 10 X flat loops?

OK - so does the 'suggest we pospone' mean that it is postponed ?

I probaby don't get a vote .... but I'm in favour of postponing ...or the 10 x flat route suggestion from Chris 😎

What are the roads like out that way?

It's a nightmare around Penarth, Barry, Rhoose etc only the main roads are passable.
