Rules for Reliability Ride Competition
Rules and Guidelines of the Reliability Ride Competition.
1. All routes start at the Ogmore Valley Wheelers meeting point (Physiques,Brackla)
2. You must arrive at the start 15 minutes before your selected start time and sign on with the Timekeeper.
3. On completion of the ride you must find the Timekeeper and ensure your finish time has been recorded.
4. Watches and bike computers must be covered.
5. If you are retiring early, please let someone know
.
This is not a race; the object is to complete the course in the target time, which you must decide in advance when you sign on.
All riders must be over 12 years old unless on the back of a tandem. All under 16’s must be accompanied by an adult. Any type of bicycle or tricycle may be used
providing it is roadworthy.
No time will be awarded if you are outside of the target time
(Plus / minus 10mins for the 50mile route and plus / minus 15mis for the 60mile route) and you will be disqualified if you leave the course. No allowances will
be made for mechanical failure or accident.
Remember the spirit of the event–it is intended to be a challenge, but shouldn’t be a struggle. The competition element is light-hearted and intended to be fun. Most importantly, Reliability Rides seem to work best when people work together.
Note:
This is a counting event for the Reliability Trophy, which is assessed on most events completed in closest proximity to the target time. IT MATTERS NOT WHICH DISTANCE OR TIME YOU CHOOSE TO RIDE IN. Club members are awarded a certificate for each event completed and these are presented at the Annual Dinner.
More information on routes, start times etc can be found on the website HOME PAGE ->, ON YOUR BIKE->, RELIABILITY RIDES
N.B. There will be an amended RR1 route posted soon
