Seacroft Wheelers’ Reliability Ride is the third in a series of 10 events run on consecutive Sundays that welcomes local clubs and riders to join us for an early season ride.
(This replaces the club’s regular Sunday rides. Some members are still likely to meet at the Barnbow to ride to the start. Check Spond app for further info nearer the time.)
Venue:
Squires Cafe, Newthorpe Lane, Newthorpe, South Milford, Leeds, Yorkshire, LS25 5LX
What is a Reliability Ride?
A reliability ride is a test of a cyclist’s reliability and that of their bike coming out of winter; and a test of fitness and form coming into the Spring. Reliability rides are for all abilities, from elite athletes to social spinners. They offer great motivation to push yourself over the two route options – when a lie-in followed by an hour on the turbo may seem more inviting. The rides take place on open roads under regular traffic conditions so – for everyone’s safety – this is not a race! 🙂
How to Enter
Preferred entry method is online using this link £5 (£4 plus £1 BC booking fee); £5 can be paid on the day, please bring exact cash amount (no card payments).
Everyone will need to sign-on on the day and notify that they have arrived back to Squires. (16-18 year olds will need to provide their British Cycling parental consent forms; under-16s must be accompanied by parent/guardian etc).
