You just need to know the route and be able to count the riders!
I like teaching others the ways of cycling
Sometimes I get tempted to go after the A Group but in the end I enjoy seeing my GF working hard and sharing one of my passions with me. I take my Race bike so they can learn about race bikes and teams, I wear tour jerseys in case they want to learn about the polkadots, yellow, pink etc. I use power readings most of the time so I can base the ride on power and not only speed. That way I can keep a constant effort even when the road goes up.
I am super happy and excited to see this grow.
Need to get a mirror so I don't have to look back.
