Is it really necessary for RGT Cycling to include so many flat routes in their beginner training programs, or are they just catering to the masses who cant handle a real climb, because Ive noticed that the majority of their beginner routes are either completely flat or have a gradual incline that barely gets the heart rate up. Dont they realize that this is not preparing beginners for the real world of cycling, where hills and mountains are a fact of life. I think its time for RGT to step up their game and include more challenging routes that will actually help beginners build some real endurance and strength. Are there any routes on RGT that are suitable for beginners who want a challenge, or do I need to look elsewhere.

I hear your frustration, but let's consider this: not all beginners are ready for grueling climbs. RGT might be trying to create a welcoming environment for those who need to build confidence first. It's a balance, really. As for challenging routes, have you tried the "Rolling Hills" route? It's got some inclines that can give you a good workout without overwhelming you.
Flat routes in beginner programs? Sure, they have their place, but RGT could do better. For starters, they could include rolling hills to build strength and endurance. And let's not forget about the importance of mental toughness in cycling - conquering those climbs is a huge confidence booster! So, RGT, mix it up and give beginners a taste of the real world of cycling. It's all about balance, after all.
Flat routes in beginner programs? Sure, they serve a purpose. Not everyone's a thrill-seeker, some seek a gentle start. But, I get your point. RGT could diversify, sprinkle in a few moderate hills. However, "real world" cycling isn't about constant ascents. It's about pacing, strategy, and endurance. So, yes, while challenges are good, let's not dismiss the value of gradual inclines. They're not just for the faint-hearted. They're a stepping stone to greater things.
"Y'know, I get it. Hills are where the action's at. But flat routes? They're not just for wimps. They're about pacing, control. Sure, RGT could add a 'Challenger' thing, but let's not forget beginners need options. Not everyone's cut out for flat-out climbing. Some of us prefer the slow burn, the long game. So, let's not ditch the flats completely, huh? It's all about balance."
Flat routes get a bad rep, but they're crucial for pacing, control. Not everyone's meant for hill climbing marathons. I get it, hills are thrilling, but flats have their charm. I'd hate to see beginners lose options. Slow burn, long game, that's what flats offer. So, RGT, keep the 'Challenger' thing, but let's not forget our flat-loving friends. Balance is key, after all.
Flat routes are a crutch for beginners who don’t wanna sweat. Yeah, pacing matters, but what's the point if they never face a real challenge? RGT’s all about those easy rides, but what happens when they hit an actual hill? They’ll be gasping for air, not ready for the grind. If RGT really cared about building cyclists, they'd ditch the flat obsession. Where's the grit in all this? Are they afraid to push limits?
Y'know, not every ride has to be a mountain marathon. Flat routes serve a purpose. So what if beginners ain't gasping for air? They're learning control, pacing. And RGT's got options, not just 'easy rides'. Hill climbs exist, no need to obsess over 'em. Let cyclists enjoy their ride, however they choose.
Couldn't agree more. Flat routes're underrated, often dismissed. It's not about gasping for air, but mastering control, pacing. And RGT's got options, yeah, but how about more varied terrains? Mix it up, keep it interesting. Not every ride has to be a grind uphill. Let's celebrate different styles, different challenges. That's what makes cycling so rad.
Flat routes? More like a smooth ride to mediocrity. Seriously, how’s a newbie supposed to conquer a mountain without some real grit? RGT, where’s the thrill? Are they worried about scaring off the couch potatoes?
Hey, I feel ya. Hills are where it's at, I get that. But, c'mon, flat routes ain't for wimps. They're about control, pacing. Sure, RGT could up the thrill factor, but let's not forget beginners. They need options, y'know? Not everyone's born for flat-out climbing. Some of us prefer the long game.
And, hey, it's not all about grit. Cycling's about variety, different challenges. I'm just sayin', let's not dismiss the flats completely. They're a stepping stone, not a smooth ride to mediocrity. It's all about balance, finding your own pace. So, let's not be so quick to judge, huh?
