I think it will be very interesting and encouraging to see the progress. I can already start to feel it!<br /><br />Now, about the group rides. All of them are different. It would be very bad form to break away and leave a group if that was not in ‘the rules’. This kind of behavior is really only accepted with close friends and on certain rides. On the Wednesday Night Ride / Race that is almost the point. You can get dropped. You need to know your way home. You should get out front if you can and hold on for dear life if you can’t. <br /><br />It is a lot of fun!Tri-Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09164926140098806417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6231774380979089035.post-27785479239250662772010-08-20T09:39:15.720-05:002010-08-20T09:39:15.720-05:002 comments really.

I take it easy and go faster, TOTALLY counter intuitive. Its funny when I sprint a lap I don't go MUCH faster because I am pin-wheeling.<br /><br />Now on biking, is there any method to the madness when these guys go and pull away? Is it welcomed? Are they considered show boating to keep pulling away from the group? I know it is good to force the back pack to keep up, but how does this all work? I want to ride in groups and do not know the proper etiquette I guess?Matty Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13447270565189789394noreply@blogger.com
