This is a timed, non-competitive Reliability Ride. 

The aim is to test out yourself and your bike during the winter months.

You are provided with the route (in GPS form) and are expected to be self sufficient throughout the ride.

There will be hot drinks and plenty of food and cake at the finish FOC, which will be Musette Cafe in Aldbury.

The event provides a choice of two routes (106km and 65km) through the stunning Chiltern countryside. The routes are not the longest, not the hardest, not the hilliest: just the best the area has to offer – a great day out the bike. The longer route takes in a beautiful loop through the Vale of Aylesbury, past the historic Waddesdon Manor and then back via a challenging climb up Aston Hill. The shorter loop shares its outward leg with the longer route before splitting off at 35km and avoiding Aston Hill.
