Group Dynamics
- This is not a race… until Day 5!
- Everyone must stay together along the route, everyday. This is for safety reasons and in the ethos of everyone riding as a group, not racing and enjoying the tour.
- As there are stronger riders and slightly weaker riders, ride accordingly in the group. If you are stronger, assist the weaker riders on the climbs.
- Stronger riders should ride up front and assist the weaker riders at the back. Weaker riders should aim to ride in the middle of the group.
- The average speed for the day will be controlled by a group leader. Respect the pace and the group leaders instructions.
- Certain weather conditions can increase or decrease the pace for the day. The average is a guideline should conditions be favourable.
- There will be pre-determined water points and lunch stops everyday. The group will stop at all water points and lunch collectively.
- If someone punctures in the group, the entire group will stop.
