The slower group: 100k
Circa 4 - 4.25 hours including stops
Sociably paced 15 average with "comfort breaks" if/when required.
No one will be dropped.
If you like a nice ride with good company and the occasional chat this is the one for you.

The fast group - 2*100k:
Sub 3 hours out.
6pt reckons he could do it 19-20mph average solo so we'll be looking to improve on that as a group. I will also endeavour to teach him that his choice of unit is inferior.
People doing the fast ride one way will be frowned upon (unless they happen to carry on for a solo century warm down).

I may have miscalculated, my calender seems to think I'll be at work that day, and so does my boss.

^^I can't help but read that with a Scottish accent.

There's a story behind it – I wish I could remember where nuknow posted the picture; it was one of me from RotFL year before last, but he made it black and white and photoshopped mountains in and made it a rather nice 'epic' piss take.

@laner fixed on a fast mainly geared ride
Brave

Hmm I'm umming and arring about the fast group, largely due to this being a little far out to decide how much i can catch you up with training.

Should I expect you all to be blasting out of corners or will it be a concerned group effort, TTT style?

or stupid. Maybe a bit of both ?

fast group sounds scary!
