Reliability Trial

ESCA Reliability Trial

The ESCA Reliability Trial was introduced in 1985 by Charles Robson. The association members have done battle since for the Reliability Trial Shield. Reliability Trials are, like Audax events, not races, but rather long distance rides which emphasise fitness, self reliance and navigational skills - the difference being that Reliability Trials stipulate the completion of a given route within a given time limit you choose yourself. Points are awarded for riders who complete the course in the correctly selected time

Cyclo-Cross League

The Sussex Cyclo-Cross League is a collection of Sussex based races within the London and South-East Cyclo-Cross League. It’s a great way for locally based riders to get involved with the racing without having to travel too far.

Round 3 of the Sussex Cyclo-Cross League (Round 10 of the LCCA’s London & South East League) will be taking place in Preston Park, Brighton.

First race on the day in the under-12s at 9:20, with the Masters 50+ Open race being the final race of the day at 13:50.

It’s a good opportunity to watch some fun racing. To learn more, or enter a race yourself, visit https://londonxleague.co.uk/events/2025-6/10-preston-park-velodrome-brighton/
