Thursday Night Chaingang (Summer Only)
The idea is simple - emphasis on through and off technique NOT speed of the group. The burn up will not happen until riders have got over the hill coming out of Feckenham. From here its a free-for-all race to the 30mph sign before Hanbury approx 2 miles.
Rider Notes
- The group won't wait if you get dropped or have a puncture.
- Newcomers will need a good level of fitness, though not race pace, it is a fast, hard ride.
- Riders please shout for potholes
- The group will consist of two lines going through and off. If you miss a turn let the rider in front know so they can drop onto the rider coming through.
- Helmets strongly advised
