If there is a decent group heading east then maybe deadly starts and see how it goes? Steady z2 with no surging doesn't really happen well in a big group. You're either over 200w at the front or 50w in the group. It depends how disciplined deadly wants to be.

Would prefer at some point on the ride to push on a bit.

john was going to post a route.

Looking at wind direction probably best not to head north east as will have a headwind all the way back, how about this which is still flat but a bit of tail wind on the way back: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/31891022

Tom could always add a bit more on to get his 4 hrs in.

I’m now thinking of cruising with Deadly (so to speak). Then intervals on Sunday in the pain/sweat cave.

Right: lets do John's route at 830. If folks want to push on after a social begining, that's entirely cool! I'll keep cruising and add a bit on at the end, as John suggests. Cu tomorrow.
