    I talked to Steve about doing the vets, and he smiled "10 miles in 20 minutes flat" hmmmm. I would have gone tomorrow night if i wasnt going to castle combe
    Think Steve is winding you up a little :D
    We have done that once or twice but thats average 30mph which is race pace.
    We did it with about 8 fast guys doing turns and the rest tagged on.
    The trouble with that is it pixxes the group off becuase over half get dropped after 10 to 20 laps.
    The usual is to start at steady pace doing 2 or 3 lap turns, at about 25mph for a few laps, then up to about 27 mph so not everyone gets dropped, more to keep the group together.
    Then after about 40 laps goes to 30mph with 1 lap turns and gets faster with about 10 laps left and up to about 34mph until the end with only a few still together so everyone gets the chance to start steady and go as long as they can.
