Good point, and now that you mention it, fairly obvious.
I hope to do these rides in a small group also. The problem is to get riders who want to travel at the same speed - and I think if I asked for volunteers to ride at 35kph, I would be riding by myself. The best I could hope for are riders who want to sit on 28kph or so. This is the speed we usually travel at on club rides, and this is simply not fast enough. Still, I live in hope and I may be able to find some-one.

The ride is fairly flat - not an ironing board - but the worst is rolling hills.
