Nutritional intake is still an issue that needs to be resolved if I am to be successful in longer rides. Seems like some new things I'm trying are worse than what I used to do in past years. Live and learn.
So - do you still "suck" or is it that you are just inferior many other cyclists?
Have you ever thought of selecting much shorter goals of say - 50 or 100km and doing these workouts with other goals - such as pacing correctly?
Or do you "have to have" the group to motivate you?
