If you’re an experienced rider, consider taking on a mentorship role.

Ride next to someone new, pass down those core skills, and show that cycling is about community as much as competition.

Let’s revive the tradition of group riding as a place to learn and grow, not just to flex fitness or ego.

We want to ensure we all learn and teach:

• Leading
• Pulling
• Sweeping

We will focus on the proper rotating technique.

Communication is important so make sure everyone in the group knows what you’re planning to do, Surprises aren’t great in a peloton.

Next time you’re on a group ride, remember: the goal isn’t to prove you’re the fastest but to ride with skill, respect, and teamwork.”
