BRCC Reliability Rides for 2026
Reliability rides are are early-season non-competitive rides. They are a great way to kick the year off, around local lanes to build up your mileage for the season ahead, whilst socialising with other club members and guests.
Starting and finishing at our cosy Club House in Cardington, we even treat you to free hot soup, rolls, teas and coffees on your return.
This year we have 3 reliability ride dates for you. You can do just one, two or all of them. Pick up a discount voucher when you finish a ride, to get £2.00 of a future ride - more details below:-
1. The Early Season Starters - 15 Feb 26
2. The Nearly Spring Rides - 22 Feb 26
3. The Ides of March Rides - 15 March 26
