This Sunday will be the first of the club's Reliability rides. Here is the route:- https://www.strava.com/segments/14027409
The idea is you ride at your own pace and choose a time you think you can ride the distance in. If you are not sure about the route or your pace then team up with other riders of similar ability.
For RR1 there are 2 options:-
50 miles in 3 hours = 16 mph ave speed
50 miles in 2.5 hours = 20 mph ave speed
Start times are 9:00 for 3 hours and 9:30 for the 2.5-hour option.
Please sign on at least 15 minutes before your intending start time. i.e 9.00am for the 9:00am start.
No computers, watches or GPS devices are allowed,
so if you feel the need to record your ride then tape over or cover up screens.
To be 'reliable' or 'qualify' in RR1 you have to finish + or - 10 minutes of your intended time.
The finish is at 'Stalling cafe' (used to be Hannah's cafe & vale kitchen)
I'll be doing the timing please be prompt in signing on and remember to let me or other riders know if you don't intend to complete the ride.
please post your intended start times and which ride your going for ;D

I’m intending being there. 9.30 start for me 😱
-
I'll have a crack at 09:30 too. If only to get an extra 30 mins in bed.
-
0930 for me, only if I can have an armchair ride behind the other two!
-
The weather forecast is not great :( If the rain is not too heavy with the 40 mph winds I'll go for the 9:30 start!
-
With the weather not looking good we will postpone the ride
And pick a date before the oggies training camp in Mallorca
I was looking forward to a 45mph tail wind 8)
