August Long Weekend Pt 2

Start Temp 17C
Finish Temp 21C
Wind steady at about 30 from the west.
A slight variation from the Saturday route, travelling up Rebeck to Lockport before joining the usual BHP loop. Always a difficult balance with the small group of varying abilities: stronger riders need to hold it back to endurance/tempo with long pulls with those less strong really concentrating on saving energy and drafting, but it seemed to work. 15 riders with a few cutting it short due to prior commitments. Saturday was the first FOG ride I can remember in a long time without any female members. Nice to see the ladies out again on Monday. And great to have some new riders (both experienced and new to group riding) join us on Saturday and Monday.
