After the appallingness of last Saturday I thought I'd post this early to kick off a more positive vibe...
I'd been pondering ways of bridging that last few mph and getting a bit of extra speed in our legs in the last few weeks before season's start, when Tom came up with a suggestion that looks like it would do nicely:- Ride out steady as a group to the Bishopwood circuit (just beyond Cawood), then split into groups depending on numbers. Do six laps of the circuit - about 30 miles - as close to race pace as we can manage while still working within the groups. Keep it tidy as you have done over the past few weeks and keep it safe. Regroup for a steady ride back together.
Metcheck reckons nine degrees and showers, and although it's obviously a way off yet, that's an uplifting thought after two degrees and snow!
