What : A reliability trial; guess how long it'll take to ride a certain course. Try to arrive on time.
Where: Starts at Chailey Parish Hall
How long: 56km or 88km
Time: depends on how fast you think you can go (see below).
Cost: £2 in advance or £4 on the line.

This was a 'memorable' ride last year, to say it was a bit wet was an understatement.

Start times:
88km (54.7 miles)
Ride in 4hrs15m, 12.9 mph average (8.30start) 3hrs 45m 14.6 mph average (8.40start) 3hrs 10m, 17.3mph average (8.50start)

56km (33.6 miles)
Ride in 2hrs 55m, 11.5 mph (9.10start) 2hrs 30m, 13.4 mph average (9.20start) 2hrs 15m, 14.9mph average (9.30start)

Weather is guaranteed, what kind is a different matter. Anyone fancy this?

    The rain looks like being the least of our worries at the moment!.

    If anyones interested the 88km route is here http://bikeroutetoaster.com/Course.aspx?course=27961. It runs anti clockwise (or did last year anyway).

    25 pre-entries as of yesterday, but with the club AGM tomorrow there are sure to be many more.

    Long range weather forecast was Sunday at a tropical 7 degrees. Hope to see you there!
