Bourne Supremacy Reliability Ride - Results

It was great to have so many riders taking part in this toughest of trials, and I was especially glad to see so many of our Fareham Wheeler friends, who represented a third of the field. What brilliant weather we had, too: 15 degrees and wall-to-wall sunshine, almost as good as the February ride.

I’m pleased to report that all of the 38 who signed on at the start made it to the finish line. The results, displayed alphabetically by category (Sotonia, unless otherwise stated)

The next Reliability Ride, which will start from Carlo’s Ices at 9am on the last Sunday in April, is a 75-mile route to the west, of which the scenic high point is the drive through the Fonthill estate. Longer than today’s ride, but less hilly!
