Historically, reliability trials were just that - they were to prove that you and your machine are reliable. The idea would be to complete a set distance usually 112 km in a given time say 4.5 hours for 112 km, but not more or less

In more recent years riders tend to ride it at their own pace some form a 'spirited' group finishing in under 4 hours, others tend to be a bit more leisurely.  There's normally a steady group that sticks together.
