I thought I'd start a thread for these rides. to provide a bit more info.
Where - Coffee Fix in Gatley
When - Every Thursday, setting of at 18:30
What - Fast training rides. Routes vary each week and are generally agreed at the meet rather than pre-planned. Feel free to turn up with ideas (but do not suggest Mow Cop!). These will be at least 60km long and have been known to be up to 80km with 1000m plus of climbing. The aim is to be done for around 21:00. Although the pace is often a bit anti-social, we will stop and re-group at the top of any climbs.
Why - Because you know you should do structured training but prefer to just chase people up hills!
