We will try to cover the same routes, albeit a shorter distance >for the slower group, so if you're struggling or want to ride at an easier >pace, you can move back to a slower group. If you're already in the slowest >group, the ride leader will check to make sure you can make your way back >alone or with another volunteer. You'll know within the first 7 miles whether >or not you're strong enough to maintain the pace. The general rule is that >you should be able to maintain at least a 19+mph pace for the A Group, 18mph >pace for 40-50 miles with the B+ Group or a 16mph pace for 30-40 miles with >the B Group, when considering which group to ride with. If you can not >maintain these paces, then it is suggested that you consider the C/B- Sunday >ride. (Please refer to the link above). > >Each group should make a concerted effort to keep the group together but >there will always be those who want to pick up the pace on the return. It is >more appropriate to do this the last 5-7 miles of a ride. The short hammer >sessions, that are always inevitable during our rides, will not be affected. > >To find out more about pacelines, please read the link below. > >http://www.raleighgyros.com/training.htm > > >Thanks, Tony > > >> > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you foolishly subscribed to the Gyro email group.
