Good luck with the group ride, Karl! Will it be a normal convoy with the slowest in front?
Thanks Peter.
We have several confirmed starters and will be commencing the ride as a group from Coogee.
Everyone has a draft route and plan. This will be refined with riders in the near future.
A ride like this has several technical challenges such as refuelling (differing bikes/ranges), experience of riders and fatigue.
My major concern being if we ride as a group all the time, this
may cause a rider to push himself beyond their individual safe limit on that day as they don't want to let the group down. We need to know everyone is safe and I have discussed this with a few riders already about fatigue and exit points and the necessity of communicating their intention.
If all goes well, we will arrive at the end of day one at approximately the same time and depart next morning together as a group. Again if the plan works, arrive at our destination together.
This is not an easy ride, several riders have discussed that this gives them added reassurance that they are not 'totally alone' for the whole trip.
