THE FAMOUS RULE NUMBER 4.
THIS IS GONNA BE HARD TO BELIEVE, but I had a customer... shoot a member of the PEDALposse!... ping me over the weekend. He'd never done something we do, love, and live for...
... he'd never done a group ride!
Hey Todd, what's the best way to learn how to do a group ride?
Ride with me.
I get inquiries like this often and always respond with Ride with me.
Nobody, well very few, take me up on it. I don't know why.
But this cat did.
I gave him the basics as we rode to meet the group.
- Stay at the back.
- To be smooth, never stop pedaling even when braking (beginners only)
- Never overlap your front wheel with the back wheel in front of you.
I wanted to keep is simple. As you know, when things heat up there's a lot going on.
He did so well that on the way back to the shop he broke Rule #4.
How could I forget that one?!
Bad teacher.
4. Never lead a group ride if you don't know the route.
He'd wound his way to the front, went straight... and we all turned left. The locals chuckled.
Classic rookie move.
You know what else is a rookie move?
Not refueling after a big ride.
You know what's great for refueling?
A recovery drink.
You know what I've been loving because it's filling and effective?
A good recovery drink right away does 2 things:
- Feeds your muscles what they need
- Satiates so we (me for sure) don't need to gorge the moment we get home.
