I've not ridden in a group before so I would really appreciate any help on the day. Having two groups sounds like a great idea (with meeting up at the halfway) but I bow to the more experienced/fitter riders.

Not to poke my nose in, but we could just run it like a normal club run affair?
15/16mph av, wait at junctions and hill tops etc?
happy to do whatever is decided though :)
In for the LOLs mainly as keen to avoid the BCC 'tempo' Saturday training smash up until at least Feb....

I think trying to keep the group together is a good idea, even if only to the half way point. Happy to be on call as backstop for a slow group if it happens though

Group riding post
Ideally I'd like the pace of this ride to be around 17 mph so group riding etiquette will be asked of everyone. However I might not be able to hack that pace so therefore depending on the group I may split it into a Fast group and Medium group (me in the medium group) as I see some strong riders provisionally in who may want to push harder get their money's worth on the day. I would still like to re-group with everyone at the turnaround for LOLs and Bantz before either heading back either as one or two groups.
I know it sounds a bit serious and everything but it's quite far for me and it might be very cold so let's make the most of the group's energy.
