Wrekinsport CC Reliability Ride
Our Reliability is scheduled for Sunday 23th Feb at Wellington Cricket Club (Telford), the cost will be £5 per person all the proceeds raised going to a charity selected by our membership (details TBC). Tea/Coffee will be available before and after the ride with food available on your return.
Riders will be able to sign on from 0845 in the morning. There’ll then be a short wait until the first wave departs at 0930. In order to limit the disruption to other road users, riders will depart in groups of 20 at a time, with each group separated by a few minutes interval.
The groups will be formed based on ability. The fastest riders will depart first, followed by intermediate and then social riders.
There is parking at the cricket club and ample parking in Wellington town center with the start line a few minuites' walk.
There will be a long route, 62 miles and a short, 39 miles.

- Point out hazards to your fellow riders and call out “Car up”/”Car back” or “Car down” when there are vehicles.
- Try to only cross junctions when the entire group can cross. If this isn’t possible wait on the other side so that riders left behind aren’t tempted to take chances.
