What would the cycling community be without a good group ride, or, club run? Well, as we enter the depths of winter in the Northern Hemisphere, it's probably fair to say that we'd be collectively warmer and drier, but also a little bit bored and sick of the headwind which is inescapable when riding out alone.
Club runs change with the seasons. A bit like track sessions at my local outdoor velodrome, where sessions emigrate from 'inters' (intermediates) to 'winters' once the clocks change - this Sunday, if you're in the UK - the pace gets dialled down to cater for the traditional training needs of the off-season months and the five extra layers you're all wearing to simply make it outside.
