Cycling made Simple #2: How to ride in a group
We are excited to welcome you to the second session of the Cycling Made Simple by CIOVITA series.
This session is designed to make group riding feel clear, safe, and enjoyable. You do not need to have attended session one to join, this session can be followed independently.
Session #2 - How to ride in a group
In this session, we will cover everything you need to know to ride confidently and comfortably with others.
We will cover:
The essential hand signals and why they matter
How to position yourself safely and maintain the correct spacing
How to pace yourself and ride smoothly within a group
How to draft efficiently and when it is appropriate
How to rotate and take turns at the front
The key things not to do when cycling in a group
What to do when things do not go as planned
And more.
There will be plenty of room for questions, so you can leave feeling informed and at ease.
After the ride, we will stop at Cafecito for coffee and cake, the perfect moment to relax and connect.
