Great to see everyone out for the track session on Friday. Impressed by how much everyone had remembered from six months ago and how quickly the first timers got up to speed so we could all ride as one group. Whilst the first timers were getting up to speed, we did some group riding/chain gang. After the first attempt which went quite well Gary gave us some tips, everyone took his advice on-board; the second time out felt a lot sharper than the first. By the third time out the first timers were up to speed and we went out as one big group. Tony did a classy move after taking a lap out waiting for us to come back around riding up to the blue line and dropping back in to help us complete the 36 laps. Think we were averaging around 25mph.

After that we took some laps. The group cycled around on the Cote d'azure on the whistle the rider at the front sprinted around on the black line to join the group at the back.  After a couple of laps the turkey was catching up with me and I must admit I struggled towards the end! Fantastic couple of hours cycling in the dry with good company:
