Welcome to the forum
Chain gang, Tues 31 July 2018, 7.30pm
Up to 3 laps on offer this evening. C'mon down and see how far you can go.
The forecast is Good. Sunset 8.53pm. Bring lights.
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 the group gets into a rhythm.
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.
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. The chaingang is also the perfect training for road racing.

As the evenings shorten, the talk was to aim for a 7.15pm start from Ashwell for the last weeks. To hold on to 3 laps for as long as possible.
Hopefully numbers can hold as people disappear for hols. All welcome, as ever. If it helps, maybe we could do the first lap as a 'no one gets dropped' guarantee? So, everyone gets a decent workout of one lap at least.
Anyway...
Forget all that. Those who turned up last night were treated to the test-flight of some very exciting looking CCA branded apparel coming our way soon. This is all that matters in life right now...
