…. it’s a “special one”! Carrying on with taking advantage of more manageable group sizes, we’re heading for the 2019 Giro Prologue Course in Bologna for a bit of a hill-rep session.
We’ll be tackling the climb four times and logging up over 900m in 32km. The Engines will be setting a pace and using the fence on the climb, allowing a freewheel recovery on the descent and then back into a working group on the flat. The final time up the climb will be a free for all.
Your Engines are:
First Class: nikalascook
Second Class: Ride_Captain_Rachel
Buffet: Chapter iainw2307

Glen is usually behind the scenes making sure that the Hotchillee Ride Captains and event participants have fully functioning bicycles to ride but he occasionally makes an appearance in front of the camera to share his wisdom. If he’s not fixing or building bikes he’ll be out riding in #SweetSussex. If you want to know anything about Cyclocross, Glen is the man to ask.
