Protocol: Double paceline when conditions allow, jam as hard as you like on the climbs, occasional sprint OK, soft pedal for an in-flight regroup when separated.
Regroup at the top of every major climb and every significant descent — everyone descends at their own safe speed.

Regroups: will complement rolling regroups with stops every 10-15mi, next stop will be called out at each stop.
