More importantly, no amount of riding 19mph will magically create the ability to ride 22mph. If you wanna ride fast, you gotta ride fast!" <br /><br />Keep up the good work!Shannon (IronTexasMommy)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12231032247567709805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850008492557142131.post-20670862149541531852010-08-24T22:59:38.699-07:002010-08-24T22:59:38.699-07:00Nice!

Riding a large group is great because there is more likely to be someone compatible with your own pacing.

One thing I have read is that for the first few rides it's best to be a wallflower in order to learn that particular group's ways.KovasPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03401299101228398072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850008492557142131.post-52150974802537576712010-08-23T05:51:30.338-07:002010-08-23T05:51:30.338-07:00Riding in a group will def make you stronger, but ...Riding in a group will def make you stronger, but be careful when and how you attack, attacking on a "recovery ride" isnt the best thing to do, and especially if it was your turn to pull.
