Welcome to the forum
Chaingang, Tues 12 June 7.30pm
Sunny forecast. Sunset past 9.20pm. We are in the summer 4-laps zone if anyone fancies it? I'm up for a go.
If so, I suggest we pace it a little bit so we don't blow-up beforehand: the distance being more road race distance than a rocket-powered crit. So if you've not been on a chaingang for a while, or have never tried one: why not give it a go. Just hang on at the back if you want - particularly an idea at the start until a group rhythm is found.
7.30pm riders leave The Three Tuns, Ashwell.
7.35pm approx, meet other riders at Steeple Morden church/pub just before the turn to begin the first lap.
Bring lights.
Come on down and sharpen your group road-riding skills, communication - calling out on potholes, on-coming traffic and vigilance on every turn - as well as boosting your summer fitness.
