'IT'S ALL RIDEABLE'
NEW CHAIN GANG REGIME
As those who ride the chain gang regularly, (and me actually,) will be aware there have been one or two issues with faster riders distrupting the flow of the chain gang by riding at a fast pace resulting in small chain of fitter riders at the front of the bunch with a line out behind and slower riders being dropped altogether.
A new 'regime' has been tried and it seems to work well so this will become the format for the summer rides. The bunch will ride at a steady pace until we reach the crossroads near Kingston on Soar, (CLICK HERE FOR A MAP). At this point riders wishing to ride at a quicker pace will split from the rest and go on ahead. The remaining riders will reform and continue as a separate 'gang'.
A similar regime will no doubt be implemented for the winter rides with a different split point but we'll come to that when it's lights and tights time.
