After receiving overwhelmingingly positive feedback after last year’s rescheduled Ranskill Gold reliability trial, it’s back once again in the end of season ‘Ride of the Falling Leaves’ slot – Sunday the 13^th October 2024!

We are again raising money for our club charity Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice and the entry fee remains at an inflation-busting, cost of living crisis friendly £10 per rider including light refreshments at sign-on and upon return to HQ.

As this is a Reliability Ride, the route is not signposted, but a GPX file will be provided before the event. It is most definitely not a race! The event takes place on open roads without marshals, and it is imperative that participants ride responsibly and in accordance with the Highway Code

 There are three routes to choose from - the 40 mile 'Compact', 60 mile 'Semi-Compact' and the 'Standard' 80 mile jaunt to really test your reliability. All routes head in an easterly direction from the event HQ, they are predominantly flat-ish on quiet roads but with a couple of undulations here and there to keep you on your toes.

Pre entry is preferred although entry is available on the day (card payments available).
