Reliability rides 2016
« on: January 03, 2016, 05:50:08 PM »
The proposed dates for the reliability rides are:-

RR1 Sunday 7th February

RR2 Sunday 21st February

RR3 Sunday 6th March

RR2 & 3 are on 'rest days' of the Six Nations, RR1 is the same day as Ireland vs Wales, if you cycle quickly enough you'll be home/in the pub in plenty of time for the game!

At the moment I'm tempted to stay with the 'modified' route for RR1 that we used last year but happy to discuss.
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 Friday 8th January

First 'reliability ride' is this Sunday 7th February, course details and rules can be found in the 'On Your Bike' section of website.

Two options for RR1 are:-

50 miles in 3 1/2 hours (14.2mph) start at 8:30 (sign on by 8:15)

50 miles in 3 hours (16.6mph) start at 9:00 (sign on by 8:45)

Please note the route DOES NOT go down New Inn Rd to the 'dipping bridge', stay on main road to Ewenny roundabout. Also at the Llantwit Major roundabout, riders have to proceed on to the mini roundabout at Heol Pentre Cwrt on BOTH laps.

See you Sunday and hope the weather improves!

Weather looks terrible for Sunday, very strong rinds and rain. Would it make sense to postpone?  :-\

Didn't think it looked that bad but then again I'll be sitting in Hannah's diner with a cooked breakfast and a latte!  ;D

I appreciate that you didn't quote rule 5.  But the sentiment might be there  :o
