And, read a report of the Old Portlians Reliability Trial on the Road Cycling UK web site.



Reliability Trials are not races but organised rides over a set route and riders finish the event within a time frame. Some go fast, as if it's a race, but most just ride and share the fun.

Our event is a traditional no frills reliability ride to be held on Sunday 7th Febuary 2010 with two fantastic routes - one of 100km and the other of 68Km through hilly Kent countryside and including the Ashdown Forest. Details of the courses are given below.
