Sundays 'Super Shorter' Race Group Ride 3rd May

 With 'Wilko' AKA 'The Boss' heading North early this week and not to be seen back around these parts until early afternoon. 

I find myself in a position to lead a '1st Group/Race Group' from the shop at 09:00, as with friends and family commitments I need to be back in the front door by 12:20!

The ride will likely encounter a few hills en route, although nothing too strenuous, a few downhills and some flat long speed (TT position) sections.  So something for everyone.  The pace will be kept within Race Group perimeters, at 18-20 mph average, slightly slower on the hills will be permitted. 

No-one to be left behind, except at the end after we clear the base of Parbold and we're in the straight back to Rufford Marina, where it's every man/woman for him/herself for 'Honours' at the 30mph before the cafe, ETA 11.40.

The last time I led, a massive (for us) 18 made it round the IM Loop at  a great clip with no mechanicals or whinging (just the way I like it) and from the feedback, coped amazingly well (consistent winter build training paying dividends).  Hopefully the same, or more will sign on this week.

All that complete this ride will have a nice little surprise on STRAVA when they upload, and that's all that needs to be said about the special nature of this ride.

No map attached as I know where I'm going ;-)
