Riding in the drops is something I have not worked on or tried in any way to learn. I have decided it is time to start learning how to make use of the drops. Tonight I rode the last 9 miles in the drops. I left my group ride and rode solo because I was not sure how it would turn out. Felt OK, but my shoulders and legs are already sore. Definitely using different muscles. I guess it will take time to develop these new muscle sets. Speed is easier to hold but it is harder to hold my head and neck in place, or something like that. looking for tips from experienced drop riders.
