Otley Reliability Ride Sunday 18th Feb 2018 – entry £4

This is Ride 5 of the 'Hateful Eight' Yorkshire Reliability Rides

A Reliability ride is all about participants demonstrating that they are a ‘reliable rider’, by completing a ride within a specified time. Otley Cycle Club's has two routes:

• 100K ride to Kettlewell and return in 3.5 hours
• 50K ride to Barden and return in 3 hour.

Groups of cyclists work together to ensure that they get around the course safely and within time. All riders are required to be self-sufficient;  They need to repair their own bikes and take any food etc. with them on the ride.

This event takes place on the open roads and rules of the Highway Code must be followed at all times.

This reliability ride has been going for over 20 years. Profits go towards Otley Cycle Club's work to promote cycling.  It is essential that you pay on the day, otherwise you won't be insured.
