Just two out on this tonight which became three when I managed to catch up with Reuben and John (I was late as usual!) which became four when Simon joined us at the turn. didnt stop it being a great ride as it always is. I'm just plugging this a bit because I still think this is a top training ride but we could really do with a couple more bodies or so every week. I'm convinced this is the best training you can do and just dont understand when the club is organising training rides in November why a fast evening ride during the racing season doesnt get more support? We were discussing at the end of the ride if a change of start time maybe to 6:30 would make a difference - currently it is 6:15? As with anything like this clearly not everyone can ride every week but a core of riders making the effort to get out as often as they can makes all the difference. I can also confirm that this ride isnt a piss#ing contest - everyone does a turn and rides for the group. If it wasn't I wouldn't be dragging myself across York in two directions to ride it!
The route is always the same - meet at Acomb roundabout - Tockwith - Cowthorpe - a lap of a little circuit round Little Ribston and back the same way. Its fast and flat and its simplicity is its success!
