Help SFACC win back the Rootes Trophy!

Written By Natalie Ceeney

Sunday 30th October

The Reliability Trial is typically the last formal event of the year on the club cycling calendar, and is an inter-club friendly competition and all KCA affiliated clubs are eligible to take part. Each club aims to gain as many points as possible. Points are gained by each rider in the club who completes the route within the allocated time. We compete against the other Kent cycling clubs.

The number of points is based on the length of the route ridden as follows:

  • 100 mile within 7 hours = 4 points

  • 100km within 5 hours = 2 points

  • 50km within 3 hours = 1 point

The route is innovative. You can start anywhere on the route, and it’s self validated (ideally using Strava).

If you can enter this year, please select a realistic distance and enter on our website. Price of entry is £3.75 per person, with all profits going to the local Air Ambulance Service.

Let’s win back the KCS ROOTES trophy for the club in our centenary year! We lost last year by just 1.5 points….
