Can someone explain to an oldie-newbie in words that aren't too complicated what a 'chain-gang' is? I live in Brighton and I think I'm interested but worried it may involve S&M etc. :oops:

IT IS JUST LIKE S&M NASTY PEOPLE DISH OUT PAIN AT THE FRONT OF THE LINE AND SUBMISSIVE WEAKLINGS AT THE BACK SUFFER BADLY.

JUST JOKING -- OR AM I ?

No really this is great training for all abilities.

The format is described on the ON THE RIVET website I think
http://ontherivet.ning.com

It is basically one long line with the front rider doing half a lap at the front then the he/she moves over and lets the line (or chain) of riders through.
The front rider moves off the front lets the line through and then joins on the back hence the term chain as the riders are like links in a chain. If one rider fails the chain is potentially broken.

Down at Preston Park it is a great place for beginers to have a go with the big boys and girls once YOU have learnt the format.
IF you feel tired you can drop out get your breath then join back in again.
The format is 3 sets of 15 mins

1ST 5 MIN IS EASY
2ND 5MIN A LITTLE HARDER
3RD 5 MIN FAST WITH 3 LAP COUNT DOWN AT THE END

UNFORTUNATELY IT IS THE LAST WEDNESDAY SESSION NEXT WEEK 7TH APRIL
