Join the Minuteman Road Club for their Friday morning ride. Expected ride time around 1 hour.
Steady group pace on the flats, starting at 2.5 w/kg on the flats and increasing as the ride goes on.
On the KOMs we raise the pace, initially to 3.6 w/kg but also increasing each lap.

Each time up the KOM, the sweeper (Red Beacon) will act as a back marker, riding a steady pace, then dropping back to the announced base pace at the top. Other riders are welcome to go as hard as they want on the KOM, just soft pedal after the top until the sweeper rejoins the group.

On the last lap we’ll race to the finish. Where we start racing from varies depending on the course.
The only rule we insist on is that you make sure you are behind the leader when the race starts.
Once the leader says “GO” the race is on!

Watopia: Race starts at Start/Finish banner going into last lap. Yes, we race the full last lap
London: Race starts at the Box Hill KOM start on last lap
