BJW 50 mile Reliability Trial

This Sunday (7th Nov) sees the first of the Bournemouth Jubilee Wheelers reliability trials, this one starting in Merley at 9am and running over fifty miles.

If you’ve never done one before then it’s like a sportive but at a fraction of the cost – £1 if you’re a member, a little more if you’re not. There are three start times, the main group at 9am, a faster group at 9.15 and the fastest group, that will very likely include a rider for a pro-tour team and several of the Wessex League big hitters, leaving at 9.30. A route map is available.

Meet at Merley Community Center, Harrier Drive, Merley (near to the Barley Mow pub) and make sure you get their with a few minutes time to sign on. Bring a puncture kit and a waterproof jacket and stick around for the tea and bacon butties afterwards.

There are further reliability trials later in the winter. Full details here.
