Another Chain Gang post was created by Wayne_Tunnah
As there has been talk yet again of setting up a slower, alternative chain gang group. How does this idea sound?

Everyone meets on the Market Square at 7, or whatever time is decided. 2 or 3 (I'm being optimistic!)groups form, and we have a chase 'race'. The slower, development group head off first with a sensible time gap, the faster group then set off, and the last group if numbers allows go off.

The idea being each group keeps together, works together and either tries to keep away, catch, or both (if in the middle group.

There will be no prizes, and no rewards for taking undue risk. This is not a RACE! :whistle:

I like the sound of that, it would certainly add an additional incentive to chew the stem a little bit more going up the hill from Hargrave.

Just an idea I came up with........ :lol:

Thought it worked really well, so why not try something similar ourselves and become united for a desire to all want to chain gang

I like that idea a lot, it accomodates everyone and everyone should get what they want from it at a pace they can handle-ish.
Bragging rights will be sufficient reward Im sure.

P.s. can I jave a 40 minute headstart please

Shall we try this new format tonight?
If people are interested in the Chain Gang be at the market square to be ready to leave at 7.

Please indicate if you are coming along or not so I can think about the groups and time gaps.

Thank you
