Chain gang 17 July 2018, 7.30pm
There'll likely be up to 4 laps on offer this evening. C'mon down and see how far you can go.
The forecast is Good. Sunset 9.16pm. But bring lights anyway.
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.

Everyone was smooth and consistent, I thought. Sam D will be very hard to keep up with next year.
The light on the 4th lap was OK. But I wonder if next week might be the last chance for this bigger effort. Let's see.
Vince: it was good fun when you peeled off and rode the loop in reverse until we saw you again, and then you turned to become our target to chase down. Chasing down the solo breakaway, a la Alaphilippe.
