Title: RR2 Sunday 24th March
Post by: Andy H on March 20, 2024, 05:44:52 PM

Sunday March 24th will be the second of the club's Reliability rides. Here is the route:-  https://www.strava.com/segments/14204579

Out via Tondu Rd, Fountain Rd, to Margam then Taibach and the Bwlch. Don't forget after descending the Bwlch and going through Ogmore Vale you then have to take a right turn over Llangeinor before crossing the common to Heol y Cyw, Pencoed and the dual back to Ewenny cafe.
Try and stay in groups and help each other, you'll appreciate it later in the ride

There are two time options for RR2:

1) 50 miles in 3 1/2 hours (14 mph)  Start time 8:30
2) 50 miles in 3 hours (16mph)         Start time 9:00

Please sign on at least 15 minutes before your intending start time. i.e 8:15am for the 8:30am start.

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. This is really important and makes for a more enjoyable ride.


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. Tape will be provided at the start!  ;D

To be 'reliable' or 'qualify' in RR2 you have to finish + or - 10 minutes of your intended time.


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 you're going for, so others can join you.


See you at Brackla for 8:30am start

Hey guys, I'm not a member but would like to ride this, is this a members only event? If I can ride I'd like to do the 830am start if possible. Thanks.

Hi Ben. You are very welcome to join a couple of club runs before we would ask you to join, and the reliability rides are just timed club runs. Do be aware that some people try to get disqualified by finishing the ride faster than the time targets, so please don't think all club rides in ridden in the same manner.
