Saturday 21st Fast

[Mantis]

Can't make Sunday unfortunately, so heading out Saturday morning instead.
8.15am start at prologue, will post a route shortly.
Jurgen, Si K and Si T coming so far...
Amy other takers?
Will have to be back by 11.15, so should be a good 3 hour blast. Cheers.

Would be interested there Mantis. Keen to see route so I can plan where I can exit gracefully..... hopefully not in first 2 miles.

[rstott]

hi - I'm in!
Appear to be lacking in form & power at the moment, so why the hell not!
See you 08:15

[Andrewstringer]

Yes - see you 8.15 looking forward to it.

[Edwin]

I’d love to, as ever, but family plans probably mean not this time.

Gents,

Here is the route - https://www.strava.com/routes/14441521

The first 25 miles are relatively flat, the last 25 are not

The idea is to ride out as a group at a sensible pace to West Tanfield. After that it gets hilly & no doubt some people will want to stretch their legs.

Plenty off options to shorten the ride or go flatter for those that want to.

Meet back at Prologue for those that can make oi circa 11.15am

See you all in the morning.

May I translate:
The first 25 miles are relatively flat - (undulating and done rapidly)

the last 25 are not (think world of pain and suffering)

The idea is to ride out as a group (hanging on for dear life) at a sensible pace (smashfest - BMW having eaten 3 shredded wheat pace) to West Tanfield. After that it gets hilly & no doubt some people will want to stretch (ripped off) their legs.

Plenty off options to shorten the ride or go flatter for those that want to. (Kindly informing those who get dropped not all is lost).

i think you are playing it down at bit michael.

[MCullen]

Was trying not to be too dramatic in case someone gets the wrong idea.
