I’ll be in the Hop Pole after the chain gang – around 8:30. Anyone joining me for the club social?
Training suggestion: Criterium-style laps of Univ. Park
University Park circular route comprises a long-ish drag, a short rolling sector, a short, steep climb followed by a downhill and a nice sweeping flat section along which it is well possible to work hard for good bursts on the drops. The loop is 1.8 Mi. I have done it often, in particular around the period when we were due to give birth and after my daughter was born. It was/is easy: 10 laps inside the hour, 18+ Mi/h, in and and back, showered, well inside 90′, easy (for me). It is also a nice challenging little course. It can accomodate people with different speeds/skills as getting dropped is not the end of the world, merely a one lap wait. Would anyone else be tempted to join in? If the group was large I ought to check with security at University.

Affiliations
Hello, as a newbie I’m not sure what affiliations we have eg. CTC, time trials etc? We’re planning some of the Long Eaton TT’s, Audax rides etc this year but not sure on what affiliations would be needed or which we already have. Thanks.

Any requests for the weekend?
The Met Office is forecating -3 Fri night / +4 Sat day & -5 Sat night / +3 Sun morning so a later start may be in order to allow meltage time. I cant make Richard B’s route next week but it could be an option for us (thanks Richard!)
