Notes
We will start PROMPTLY at 8:25 so that we are not caught by the faster group.
Safety, pace, and ride notes
Sticking to the successful format of the last few weeks we will keep the discipline of holding the group together both up and down. It's a cooperative effort to ride as fast as we can whilst keeping the group together. Don't leave gaps and remember, if you are running out of steam, sit-in at the back for as long as it takes to recover. Don't wait until you are cooked!
Kit, preparation, and weather
The 8:25 welcomes new chain gang members, just let us know at the start.
If you are struggling on the climb to the Harrogate roundabout, let someone know that you want to be dropped or take the Dunkeswick Lane shortcut (it should be open by then). If the rest of the group splits, allow a catch-up by lapping the roundabout. DO NOT STOP IN THE LAY-BY as it takes too long to re-group.
