So when I try and slow down, sometimes I slow down too much... the result is an induced oscillation of the whole paceline. I'm not sure if it's because I'm a better climber (I'm typically the lightest/smaller rider in the group) or if I'm just a bad judge of the pace needed to keep the group together during climbs (the more likely explanation). Either way, it's something I need to work on as I fear I seem to be fairly unhelpful at the front and I'd hate to lose people to ride with.
