Went out on a fast paced club run (about 20mph average over 60 miles or so) with Kingston Wheelers today with a mate who's a member.
I've always been put off club runs by the amount of dicking about involved and the inevitable dick'ed or two who may ruin the vibe, but this was relatively pain free, bar an overly long coffee stop.
The route was pretty shit (a lot of urban / traffic-heavy bits) though, but there were a few sections at full gas that were savage.
Pancake flat which isn't good for me, but all good fun. Considering joining up - I need to get in good form for racing and they have the size and attitude to really do that. A right schlep to get to the start point tho.
