Meanwhile, 26 riders braved the icy conditions to complete the latest Mud, Sweat n’ Gears 50-mile reliability trial.
The Dorchester bike shop has been organising monthly rides to build fitness ahead of the new race season.
The reliability trial dates back to the early years of the 20th century when cycling equipment was not so reliable, road surfaces were poor, sign-posting was even worse, and mobile phones had yet to be invented.
Reliability trial riders needed to be resilient, able to navigate, capable of dealing with minor mechanical problems, and fit enough to complete the course.
