Depends where you are.
In febrary and March there are several reliability rides in Herts which are quite good and can be as fast r slow as you like, but they are on qite hard rotes.0 -
Not many sportives listed on Cyclosport.co.uk before April. Maybe look at audaxes instead, or as OWM says, many clubs organise "reliability rides" early season that are basically sportives by another name.0

Dates still not confirmed for 2008 yet but I organise the CC Luton one, so I'll post details here and on our website when they are confirmed.Pirahna wrote:oldwelshman wrote:In febrary and March there are several reliability rides in Herts which are quite good and can be as fast r slow as you like, but they are on qite hard rotes.

I think the Hemel and Harpenden may be swapped as Hemel have organised a track day at Newport on the day the Hemel reliability was to be run.
Where is your club run going this week Bronzie?0 -
Our club runs are always magical mystery tours..............depends on who turns up and which way the wind is blowing.oldwelshman wrote:Where is your club run going this week Bronzie?
I'm off to watch the World Cup cyclocross in Belgie tomorrow, but I'll try and get out Sunday if I can persuade Mrs Bronzie that it's in her best interests for me to bugger off on my bike all morning.

My wife is a technophobe and is going to visit a friend on Southend.
I was doing the sat nav for her (as she cannot work it!!) and she got in a strop so went without it.
I just heard on the news M25 closed due to 10 car smash and she has to go through it.
I called her and no answer so I could not leave a voice mail as she does not know how to retrieve it
So gues she is now stuck in traffic, no phone, no sat nav
Now I can have a quiet night then go out for long ride tomorrow 8)0 -

Thanks oldwelshman. That should be enough to dissuade me from that extra mince pie on Boxing Day
