Dorset Miles: Bournemouth Jubilee Wheelers 50 mile Reliabilty Trial

Nobody seems to know how long the Bournemouth Jubilee Wheelers 50 mile reliability trial has been running, the mid-eighties for sure, perhaps even longer? Nothing has changed much in 30 years, a different HQ, the Horns Inn was always more appealing, if, sometimes regretted later in the day. The course is pretty much as it has always been, the cost has doubled over the years but at £1 few grumble. Clockwise, 94 set off between 08:30 & 09:30, on a bright, windy morning; a few showers came and went, the prepared had rain jackets. Gravel and mud in the lanes will be there till spring, punctures can and did happen. No tea stop these days, at least not official and there is plenty back at the HQ, courtesy of Matt & Aimee. The pace quickens towards the end, just like every club ride up and down the country today. No one ever remembers who wins a sprint in November, except, of course the winner. The traffic is heavy in Wimborne but the ride is done, bacon sandwiches to the winners, cake to the losers, it’s all the same at this time of the year!
