What is the SRAMcc Winter Reliability Series?
Six rides, one a month, running through the winter from October to March. The routes and dates are below.
These rides are intentionally longer than the usual Sunday café ride. However, no speed is too slow, we will always go as a group or groups depending on how many. Each ride will include a café stop halfway through the route. It’s a fantastic way to maintain fitness over the winter while enjoying some fun and camaraderie on those cold days!
If you have other commitments and can’t make it to the start, that’s okay. As long as you complete the ride at some point that day, you’re in! We ask everyone to ensure they are part of the existing SRAMcc Strava group so we can track all participants. Most are likely already in the group, but if you’re not and want to take part, please join here: www.strava.com/clubs/SRAMcc
The goal is to complete all six rides in the series. Anyone who manages to complete them all will receive a limited-edition pin badge!
What is a reliability trial?
British Cycling has a brief explanation here. But in summary, it’s not a race! More like an Audax.
