Yeah just turn up. As recommended, group 5 and 6 first as it can get hairy from group 4 onwards. Some bad apples in 4s this morning complaining about gaps and slower riders.

It was great to be back out there!! The bad apples should have moved up to group 3!!!...it was fast paced from the outset, they would have been working to hard to complain!!...I broke into the 6min/5k bracket this morning with a new PR...set a new PR for the Aquatic Centre sprint then got dropped on lap 4 after feeling myself blowing up on the Aust Ave down hill...I had a blast!!! See you guys there next Tuesday!!black4tress wrote:First week of new years and there were 150+ riders out there.

Group 3 was great. Although cracking on the 2nd last corner of the final lap is not.

I agree anyone talking in the groups other than to point out hazards should move up to the next group. People try to turn it into a race, these are often the people who don't actually race.
Laps are fantastic to get you better on the corners, follow the wheel in front of you, often the riders in the 'slow' group are very experienced. Plenty to learn from them. Once you nail the corners and rolling over at the front without speeding up, then you just have to get faster!

If anyone has done the ride this morning can you report back on the numbers. Hoping to get out for the Thursday bunch ride so making sure it's still on ?
Cheers

I'm fairly new to cycling but am currently able to hold about 30kmh on reasonably long (80km) but also reasonably flat rides. Would I be too slow for the later bunches? The lacc website doesn't mention what pace they do, just that the ride is 'very hard'.
Also does the cafe still take people's bags? Is this safe?

I know when I'm pushing myself solo I don't always hold my line that well so I've definitely got skills to develop. Excited to try it though as it definitely sounds like the next logical step up for my cycling. Also not too far out of the way on my way to work, although I will have to wake up pretty early to be there for 6!!
