Do you mind if I come along and if the pace is too strong I'll peel off as I'll know my way home? I'd prefer climbing. David

I'm in :-) option 1 please ...

Andy_R

Can prob join if heading south Phil, so option 1 gets my vote.

Good ride and route that, cheers all (esp. Phil for leading).

One thought: I think we'd all feel fresher towards the end of the ride if we shared the work on the front a little more evenly, particularly early in the ride. I reckon it'd help to make the pace a bit less stop-start? Even a short turn makes a big difference!

Feel free to hammer me when I'm wheelsucking, only to smash the next hill ;-)

On other matters, that Pinarello - my word!
