Slacktober ~ Smelling the Flowers...

slacktober

we can ride for 50 kms or stay here and chat for two hours
the benefit should be exactly the same

Depart Time
Sat/Sun
~ Three Groups leaving at 8:10, 8:20, 8:30 sharp.

Ride Activity
Slacktober ~ Seriously Socialising, Village Policeman Pace

As we leave the race season behind we enter a period of controlled de-training.  It's been a long year and our work is done.

Most weeks there will be three groups.  Galacticos will kick off first at 8:10, Gregarios follow on ten minutes later and the Grupetto will leave at 8:30.  If you miss one group, just pick up the next.

There is no material difference between the Gregarios and Grupetto, only that one gets an extra 10 minutes in bed! 


The Route
These rides are weather, and other event, dependent.  But the idea is to get to the top of the island as quickly as possible, and stay there. 

There should be no need for re-grouping as the climbs will be taken at a steady pace.  It's all about spinning the legs and chatting.

Distance will be around 50 kms depending on road works and what the wind is doing.  If you're new to group riding or just want to come along for a ride, the 8:30 group is the one for you.

Just stay as long or as little as you want or need.  Normal rules apply!

Performance Level
Three groups, two levels; Galactico's. Gregario's and Grupetto.  Galacticos ride a kilometre or two faster, the two other groups are identical, it's just to keep the numbers manageable.  Choose your group carefully! 

Choose the group that best matches your ability not your ambition.

Remember, we're not racing, we're not training to race, we are detraining.  You're not trying to prepare for a winter of making yourself more efficient, effective and economical.
