Funny to see that you guys do it the other way around as here in club rides in The Netherlands. Over here the groups all take the same route but fastest group starts first and slowest last. That way you can always try to ride with fast groups, trying to improve and when you cannot hold on anymore, you let yourself drop to the next group, which will only be a few minutes behind at the end of the ride. Also your turning is opposite to over here. You turn on the road like we would do on the track, with first rider dropping back to last when turn is done. Over here the front rider is passed by the next rider so the pace is being controlled smoothly, like the pro’s do on the road.

This is the gateway into racing. And the stuff you learning rolling fast pacelines will come into play when you're in a breakaway. Stoked to see this.

Looks like you’re getting the hang of it! Can be tricky with all the group dynamics in play. Knowing when it’s race on, single paceline, chain gang, closing splits etc. But along as your generally riding smoothly and having fun that’s what counts

Great to see a decent size group showing up for a mid week effort, keep up the great vids!

Very nice to see 👍

Donegal 555 apparatenly is beastly!

Perhaps Paris- Brest - Paris or London - Edinburgh - London, speaking to those in my club that have done them they are tough, especially if you are at the front and keeping sleep to a minimum.

Everesting would maybe be a comparison to a 100 miler? Ive run a 50 and Everested, but they pose some similar and some different challenges. The bike will never leave you as beaten up as the run though!

Great ride. For reference, could you kindly add a statistical overlay?

100 miles, chapeau! Love some running myself, not 100 miles tho ;)

When having a large fast group ride, what I've found best to work is that the faster group do a slightly longer and a bit of different route this means that the groups won't end up merging etc, the other groups B/C etc can do the same route. so riders from the B group if dropped can join C. This whole idea of A leaving later to catch up and pass just causes confusion.

You should ride "Styrkeprøven", it goes from Trondheim to Oslo (520km, 4200hm).

Wow! 100 miler weekend race and then a few days later chaingang. I only have admiration! I would have taken three weeks off to recover. If you fancied doing both, I did a duathlon (5k run, 20k bike, 3k run)on a closed circuit at Cyclopark in Gravesend, Kent. It was great. It maybe a little far for you, but it is well organised and cost is very reasonable. Check out Dartford Bridge Events, Gravesend Cyclopark Duathlon Midweek League. They host an event each month.

Where do they meet?

Maybe an "Everesting" could get close to your 100 mile run? BTW, running 100 miles, wow, I can't imagine that!!!

Anyone know of any south London chain gang rides?

Come hang with the fast boys next week 👀

Try Paris- Bresc-Paris

That's how a Apr style chain gang works, if your feeling good when a faster group passes hou can join on the back, also a group that big shouldn't be doing 30 seconds on the front then going to the back, yous should be continuing to pull through from you back

Wait, you ran 100 miles???

Nice ride!! Is this America?

I wouldn't feel comfortable in a group with you holding a camera. Someone or yourself makes an error your up shit creak with no control. I have stopped taking my hand off the bar only to drink water. I use my voice now to call out potholes etc. You give away so much control it's not worth it.
