There will be a choice of 2 routes available, split into groups, with the 58 mile route having a group at "training" pace (~20mph) and a more "steady" pace group (16 to 18 mph) which will be kept together.

What is a Reliability Trial?
What is a Reliability Trial?
For those new to cycling and unsure what a Reliability Trial is, it is a traditional early season challenge, a hard training ride. They are not races or sportives, so no route markers (gpx files or strava segments of the routes are available. (Printed maps will be provided if required), there will be no feed stops and no results. You set off in a bunch and make your way round as best you can. You need to make sure you are able to cope with all mechanicals, suitable dressed and equipped.
If you are planning to ride a sportive, a cycling challenge, charity ride or race in 2022 or just want to get fitter and improve your cycling then Reliability Trials are a great way to kick start the new year training.
