Gloucester City Cycling Club

Chain Gang
2019-03-26 18:30 - 20:00 (Europe/London) | Longford Inn, Tewkesbury Road, Longford Inn, Gloucester, GL2 9BE, United Kingdom
An early evening chain gang ride for members only on roads North of Gloucester. Although the aim is to get back before dusk please ensure that you have lights when needed. Early season rides will cut across the river Severn at Haw Bridge and return via Ashleworth. As the evenings lengthen a longer route on the A38 to Tewkesbury, A438, B4211 and A417 will be used. It’s a full on fast ride for 23 miles from Longford to Tewkesbury & back to Maisemore via Corse Lawn designed for riders capable of keeping up with serious amateurs for 20+ miles. Groups will split into different abilities as required but if you drop off you must be able and willing to find your own way home. Watch the video here.
Note that although this is race training the rules of the road still apply. Be courteous to other road users and ease the pace when going through built up areas. Remember:

It’s not a race, it’s training
Try and keep it to groups of no more than eight, even if it means three groups
Everyone should work together but ride through smoothly and ease off when you come off the front
Set off at two minute intervals and make sure each group waits for everyone in the group to get across the first roundabout
Don’t start the chain until past Twigworth
It’s for members only
Ease up through Tewkesbury town and when you meet the A417 at Corse
Have fun and be safe
