As Mr Bixby will be overdosing on Sanatogen tomorrow as mentioned elsewhere and as I believe I have a window of opportunity, I'll put my hand up and volunteer to lead this. Nigel has already expressed a preference for the A168 route. I'm ok with that - its dull as dishwater but I'm sure it will serve its purpose! We can practice a bit of through and off but I would prefer instead of just ripping it up half way through the ride to just do it steady and get used to the principle on a few stretches - A168 and a lap of the Milby circuit - doing it on a circuit is good to get used to the wind coming from different directions. Then after Easingwold see if we can up the pace a bit for the last 45 minutes. No point averaging 21 mph when races are run at 25 mph and won a t 26 mph. See you in the square at 0900.
I'm saying this but I practiced the finer points of through and off with Jon Cocker on the chaingang on Tuesday - and am still trying to get over it!
