This year’s BSCC Autumn Reliability Ride will take place on Sunday the 6th October. The route is a familiar and picturesque 60 mile/100km ride on quiet roads circling around Banbury, taking in the delights of the Cotswolds with a few climbs thrown in for good measure.

Headquarters and ride starting point will be at Woodgreen Leisure Centre, Banbury, OH16 0HS. The HQ will be open from 0830. Please ensure that you arrive in plenty of time to sign on and pay.

Entry fee is a mere £2 and all proceeds go to charity.

There will be 3 start times:

0900: Leisure Pace. For riders stating a time of 4 – 4 1/2 hours.
0915: Intermediate Pace: For riders stating a time of 3 ½ – 4 hours.
0930: Fast Pace: For riders stating a time of 3 ½ hours or less.

Maps, directions and banter will be available at the headquarters. A much sought after and highly revered certificate will be awarded to any riders who manage to stay on course and complete the route in their stated time.

A reminder to all taking part:

Please ensure you have sufficient food, drink and basic bike maintenance tools, and appropriate clothing with you during this ride. There are no marshals or support on the route and it’s the responsibility of each rider to ensure their own well being.
