Alex Warburton Memorial Ride (ARCC RELIABILITY RIDE 2025)

Reliability Trial , Leeds – Sunday, 16 Feb 2025

Event Summary

Event Overview

WHAT IS A RELIABILITY RIDE?

The Yorkshire Reliability Rides are a long-established highlight of the county's cycling calendar. Initially set up as Ron's Reliable Five, the series this year has nine events, with Alba Rosa taking on the sixth event.

Reliability Ride is not exclusive to Yorkshire. Nationwide, a Reliability Ride is a long-standing winter tradition. It's a test of a cyclist’s reliability and that of their bike coming out of the winter period. The emphasis is on fitness, self-reliance and navigational skills, although they are also used by competitive cyclists for training ahead of the racing season.

WHAT HAPPENS ON AN ALBA RELIABILITY RIDE?

Our Reliability ride is for all abilities. We don't have an organised start, so riders will be setting off when they choose and riding with whomever they choose. However, we will aim to try and have faster groups head off first, to avoid pinch points out on the road.

After the ride, come and join us for a coffee at Hickory's Smokehouse (Lawnswood Arms) or The Foundation

A reliability ride is a great way to meet and ride with new cyclists from different groups and clubs or to test your fitness against old rivals. 

There are no feed stations, timing chips, souvenir t-shirts, etc. The ride is not a race. It takes place on open roads without marshals.  Participants must ride responsibly and by the Highway Code.
