Reliability Rides

We run two reliability trials on consecutive Sundays in March.

 

These are an organised ride which challenges a cyclist to complete a set course, within a preset time limit. We have two events; 40 miles in four hours on the first event, and a choice of either 100km in six hours or 100 miles in 8 hours on the second event. Please see the TT Calendar within the TT Series page for the dates.

​

These are not races, and we will always have someone to hand to ride at anyones ability, as long as they are up to the challenge.

​

Both Sundays we set off from Barton Market Place at 09:00, with the rides being guided for those unfamiliar with the courses.

​

Please see below for descriptions of the courses.
