**Ride Pace**: This is one of our fastest rides. The pace will be set by the fastest rider on the night and expect it to be 28+kph, adjusted for terrain and the impact of any wind. We can ride at our own fastest pace or the pace of the fastest rider. We will re-group as needed, no one gets left behind. Anyone who knows the route can take turns to lead the ride.
