As you know the committee will be looking at the results of the ride speed survey at the meeting next week. I'm keen for a bit of additional feedback/thoughts particularly from the current medium group to help with the review please.
This morning's "medium" ride was way beyond the current ride band of 14-16mph and at 17mph+ met the banding for fast. Reading the initial post about the route this looks like it was expected/planned.
Obviously running the medium ride way above the advertised band is going to a) prevent any progression from the leisure ride (or make it extremely difficult) and b) potentially deter new members and therefore growth of the club.
Therefore the feedback I'm after is why isn't anyone trying the fast ride? Even on the step up rides no one seems to be moving up/giving it a go? Any thoughts you have on why this is would be much appreciated. If you'd prefer to feedback in private please PM via @MattH on the forum (any feedback received this way will be treated in confidence).
Of course, we want to make sure everyone gets what they want out of the club and we'll do our best to ensure this with the review of ride bands, alongside any feedback and thoughts you have on the above.
