Mercia CC Reliability Trials

Tweet

On Sunday 31st January, the 2016 Reliability Rides will be held. We have 2 rides, 100km starting at 10am and 50km starting at 10:30am. Both rides will be starting from the new clubhouse, the location can be found here. Everyone is welcome and there may even be some tea and cake!

**Please note that the routes have changed slightly this year because of the start and finish at the new Mercia HQ and to omit the Scotch Hills road which has dangerous potholes.**
