Cycling Group Ride: Use It To Get Faster, and not JUST Hammer

Highlight:

What to use the group ride for (besides the social fun!)

Some thing you can improve on by using the group ride

Using other riders as a litmus

Bonus Tip!

Kudos if you’re on a ride where you can get dropped. It shows that you’re trying to grow as a cyclist and not just show up to be top dog.

What are you trying to improve on during the ride. Just hanging on to get dropped is not the best use of your time.

I would pinpoint the section where you get dropped and how can you improve here?

Save your energy FOR the big effort of the ride that you are keyed into

do less if possible on the initial rollers.

Don't close gaps for anyone

Ride in the best draft possible

Avoid the high outputs where possible.

THESE THINGS MATTER.

Find riders to use as a litmus: ranking yourself off the best rider there might be unrealistic.

Save it for the BIG effort.

the more z1 on this ride, the BETTER.

I'd like to use this more as a race scenario than just a group ride.

I understand that there is motivation to go hard when riding with a group, but we also want to use this to increase your power; dont just blast yourself early for the sake of it; utilize this to see how you hold strength versus others as the ride progresses…… i'm not seeing that happening right now.

compare performance in terms of watts and litmus ranking after each ride…okay if did lower watts but better position, what happened that ride (better drafting, smarter attacks, no wasted matches)….higher watts and worse position.

we all get MOTIVATEd by the gruop, so let’s use that to our advantage
