Excellent post, I totally agree.
I too, have raced and trained with guys/girls who were/are at the highest level. They're like liquid silk to ride with, their intuition is astounding. While I'm certainly nowhere near that level, I do have some tricks the young guys are ignorant of...... *head butting *elbow in the ribs *jersey pulling *banging drops *pump in front wheel One trick you didn't mention - pulling alongside, reaching over and shifting your opponent into a higher gear on a climb (works with DT and barcon shifters). |

*Why can't I capitalize "EPO"??* And EPO won't help his power! It don't work that way! What do you think E.P.O. does for an athlete? Build muscles? |
Old FART'S sneaky tactics:-
Part 1: Was out spinning this morning when a couple of young guys passed me, so I tacked on the back and rode to the top of one of our challenging hill climbs with one of the lithe young guys, let him half-wheel me most of the way up, then kicked away just near the top...... a consolation victory for this old fart after the crit training hammering I got the other night. |
Yes, the look on their faces as you pass them is truly priceless! Been there, done that. :thumb:
