RR1 John Edwards Memorial rise Sunday March 17th

[Andy H]

Sunday March 17th 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. This is really important and makes for a more enjoyable ride.

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 8:45am 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. Tape will be provided at the start! 

To be 'reliable' or 'qualify' in RR1 you have to finish + or - 10 minutes of your intended time.

The finish is at 'Velo cafe', Stalling Down next to the Mughal Emperor.

UNFORTUNATELY the cafe appears to have closed down, so riders will have to get drop back down into Cowbridge for coffee!

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 9:00am start

I'm riding Ajax's 10 on Saturday afternoon, but I'll have a crack at the 20mph one please Andy. Fingers crossed for sideways rain like a proper RR.

[Mark B]

I hope to be there and will join the 3 hour group.

[Dave W]

2.5 hours for me . can't think of any good excuses not to ride

[RichardB]

9am start for me

[RobC]

Andy, given the cafe is now closed, would it be better just to finish in Costa, Cowbridge so at least you can sit down with a coffee rather than be stuck on top of a hill waiting for people to arrive? The timekeeper job is making the ride possible for everyone else, and I think we should make that role the least unpleasant we can.

Thanks for sorting for us all Andy

[RobC]

Thanks very much for facilitating that Andy. And also well done to new face, Dave Williams. He reminded me a bit of the guy who used to ride with us last year, but I can't remember his name.

[Paul R]

Thanks Andy

[Dave W]

Thanks, I hope this new member Dave Williams has paid his membership?
