Riding with a pack there can be enough of a draft to coast at times and still maintain speed. Yesterday I took my daughter out for a 20mi ride, only coasted when I came to the stop signs, otherwise I spent the rest of the time pedaling, and when on the longer paths, a fitness/training ride like that might involve no coasting.
