K.C.A. Reliability Trial 50 km, 100 km, 100 mile.
For the Rootes Trophy
This is the traditional end to the competitive side of the Kent Cycling Association’s year. Please support the club by taking part and let’s try and take the trophy in 2016!
Reliability Trials are very similar to Audax rides in that riders cover a set route within a selected time, being checked at the furthest points to remove any temptation to cut a corner.
Riders select a time for their chosen distance and earn points for their club if they finish within that time, 1 point for 50 kms, 2 for 100 kms and 4 for 100 miles.
The Trophy is presented to the club with the highest total so please do not be too optimistic with your choice of distance and also allow time for refreshments at Pat’s place at Lashenden and possible mechanical problems.
