As per discussion at the pub last night, general feeling was that since the road race season is now pretty much over, the training rides could take a break for a few weeks. Intention would then be:-
-Training rides start again first weekend in November (subject to weather!)
-Format to be similar to last year; use regular rota of routes so people get to know them and can get home alone if required
-Start steady and gradually include faster stuff as start of season approaches
-Each week someone to agree to take responsibility for making sure people know where they're going, and to ensure no-one gets dropped without them knowing how to get home.
Assumption, as previously, is that the training ride is about endurance/tempo pace work and that anyone planning on racing is doing more intense training elsewhere.
