🚴 In this episode of Tri2Thrive, we explore the joys, challenges, and techniques of group cycling. Dennis kicks things off with a nostalgic story from his teenage years, riding with a local cycling club, reminding us all why group rides are more than just training sessions - they’re a community, fellowship, and motivation on wheels.
Together, Chris and Dennis unpack key topics including:
Why group rides are so much fun (and motivating!)
The power of slipstreaming and how to do it safely
How to rotate leads using the Belgian Tourniquet
Aero bars in group rides: why you shouldn’t use them when riding close
The importance of communication, signaling hazards, and riding predictably
Why pacing is everything—don’t burn out early, even if you’re excited
Personal anecdotes, cycling fails (broken bikes and busted plans!), and laughs
Whether you're new to group riding or a seasoned cyclist, this episode will help you ride smarter, safer, and stronger together. And yes—Chris did leave Dennis behind… sort of. 😅
