About the Event

Info for Riders

For those new to cycling and unsure what a Reliability Trial is, it is a traditional early season challenge, a hard training ride. They are not races or sportives, route markers will be at major junctions (gpx files or strava segments of the routes are available. (Printed maps will be provided if required), there will be no feed stops and no results. You set off in a bunch and make your way round as best you can. You need to make sure you are able to cope with all mechanicals, suitable dressed and equipped. 

If you are planning to ride a sportive, a cycling challenge, charity ride or race in 2024 or just want to get fitter and improve your cycling then Reliability Trials are a great way to kick start the new year training.

Perth United Cycling Club have training runs every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday when the season gets going March into April This includes training road and gravel rides, come along and try rides, time trials and APR rides as well as hill races and a number of 100 mile rides and Zwift racing. Why not come along and join Perth United on these days to help you get the miles in and get ready for the season ahead and your planned event, whilst in like-minded company. Details of the weekly club runs are on the web site. The club runs are suited to all abilities leaving from various advertised locations around Perth. The duration of the runs, sometimes with a coffee stop, is approximately 1 to3 hours depending on conditions.  The club runs provide the opportunity, and practice, in riding in the company of others, and also advice on cycle maintenance, what to wear, what to carry, etc. All newcomers welcome and there is no obligation to join the club.
