Reliability Trials
Prior to each road season, the club promotes four reliability
trials starting from the Jubilee Clock in Weymouth. From winter
2008/09 changes were made to previous years with different routes
and starting in November, spaced about a month apart. The distances
start at 50km and now progress through 70km and 100km to the final
130km event. Dates will be published on the Events page, with
a reminder appearing on the Home page Announcements board.
There are some basic rules, reproduced below,
designed to prevent the event becoming a mini road race and riders
are requested to use bikes with mudguards if the weather is likely
to be inclement.
Rules
Riders time to be stated to the timekeeper
before the start. The ride must be completed within the stated
time, but riders must not finish in a time more than 10 % lower
than the time they have stated. Early finishers will be disqualified.
At least 2 out of 4 trials must be completed successfully to qualify
for a certificate.
