Tuesday Savage Spins

Due to the dangers of riding in the winter due to weather and conditions compared to the summer, we are tightening up on the rules for the Tuesday spin.

These are primarily savage spins but we do try and accommodate riders who are trying to improve. From now on we will require somebody to lead the slower group.This person must be approved by the club. If no one is available to lead the slower group doesn't go.

These means we have two set groups and two leaders. There is no middle ground.Either you keep up and stay with the savages or drop back and stay with the slower group. Riders will not be allowed complete these spins on their own or in their own groups.

We will also try and pace the savage group a bit better. It won't be slower but we'll try and keep the group tighter

I understand where this is coming from luke but it is a bit hard on the slower guys trying to improve. What about the idea of a sweeper or riding in pairs. Also everybody should have a flashing red light on there back and on there bike so they can be seen from behind or down somewhere.

Good plan, I think one of the savages or an approved member should take turns in leading the less savage group. I have no problem doing it when needed!!!

Not that I'm able to keep up with the savages anyway!!

look lads, listen to what Luke is saying.
Lets not over complicate matters
If you get dropped, you wait for the group behind you and pace yourself with them.
Simple.

There should really only be one spin and one group.
Ask yourself why you can't keep up with the front people. Most of them have been racing for years,some of them ride their bikes every other day, usually they've done one long spin every weekend or a race. Some are training outside of EPIC spins.
If you are depending on one Tuesday night Savage spin and thats it, good luck, you'll never catch up.
After Christmas there will only be one group, I've only one suggestion, prepare yourself for spins. Train to be able for them ,if you are not you are wasting your time.
