Temperature at least 10 degrees less than last week.  As for precipitation....

One group started, which then shattered mid way.  Great chase by Keith and TS Steve to get on.  The drizzle then started and we took it easier on the bends to finish safely...

Hi Guys,

I take it these are every Tuesday? What time and where do we normally meet. Sorry I'm a club/chaingang noob.

Thanks
Jack

Thanks

Handy little guide on the British Cycling site
 https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/knowledge/skills/road-racesmart/article/izn20141117-Road-How-to-ride-through-and-off--chaingang----Racesmart-0

It will definitely improve your awareness and fitness.  Also will make you try harder than you thought you could - or so I have heard.

Just hang on and have fun ;)
