On the Sunday ride today we saw about a dozen riders turn up for the usual loop and the pace was firm from the start, and then off, and then on, and then off.......If you are going to have a turn on the front try to keep the pace constant as much as possible, when you don't the group gets very nervous behind and there was a lot of near misses this morning from the ever changing pace. If you are new and you find yourself on the front a lot of people try to be brave and do there time pushing the wind only to pop and promptly drop off the back of the pack. Rest assured everyone else in the group has been there and will not think twice (most of them) if you just roll to the back straight away or if you don't even have a turn up front. Anyway back to the ride again.....what was very pleasing was the amount of other riders on the road we passed during the ride, what a great feeling to see so many riders out enjoying the day. Slowly but surely the brew shop filled after the ride as the pace took it's toll and people turned up; how good is a brew after a ride on a cold morning.
As some would know there has been some work going on in the background around a kit for our group and this is the latest design kicking around. This is still in draft so it's still a bit rough but you get the idea - yes there will be a girl (pink) version ;)
