So, incorporating drills like progressive gear shifting and obstacle slalom might sound good on paper, but are we really addressing the core issue of integrating time trial work into group rides? If we’re adding all these layers, how do we prevent riders from feeling overwhelmed or sidelined?
What about the riders who simply can’t keep up with the pace or complexity? Are we risking their engagement by pushing for technical skills that might not translate well in a group setting? It’s easy to throw in drills, but at what point do we disrupt the natural flow of the ride?
If we’re aiming for inclusivity, how do we ensure that everyone is genuinely benefiting from these drills without losing sight of the group dynamic? Are there specific scenarios where certain drills might actually hinder cohesion rather than enhance it? What’s the balance between pushing boundaries and maintaining a respectful pace for all riders?
