What to expect from the different groups
( subject to change )
Long route will have two groups - one at above our A run pace - 32kph. Another at our B run pace - 29kph
Middle route will potentially have a couple of groups also
one at 27kph and one at 25kph
Short route will have a group at 22kph
We do tend to use mudguards during the winter at Solihull - However this wont be expected in all the groups but will be advised in the slower groups
Reliability rides ARE NOT races - however they do get ridden very fast in the faster groups and there doesn't tend to be any waiting for any mechanicals or punctures so please bear this in mind
Hopefully you can join us in 2026
Cafe stops are availiable in Wooten Wawen for the short route,
Alcester & Snitterfield for the middle route
Alcester & Long Marston for the long route
