Hence the drills first going downhill or motopacing. My favorite drill is to have a friend lead me out to the low 30 mph range on his scooter and when it is safe he gives a quick "toot toot" and I have to accelerate past him. Doing a quick set of 5 of these feels great, but is more than enough for a day.
