REGROUPS: THREE  MINUTE regroups at top of EACH CLIMB, BIG REGROUP at end of La Posta (nature break…). *If you get to the top first, yeah you won! Now you can either wait for THREE WHOLE MINUTES or go back down and ride up again with someone who is riding slower. This is a group ride – not a training-race!
