I am new to road biking and have been wanting to start up with a cycling group. I can use this information for sure. I’m sure I’ll learn a lot once I get started.

I ride with a group right now but am not overly happy with them. I feel I need a different group to improve my riding performance. I’ll be sure to use these tips to find the right one.

The group ride is a bit new to me I ride solo mostly. I’m not the best chatter I like to stick my head down and go. I see the group has every level. It is kind of fun finding people that won’t let you best them. The nicest thing someone said was “Nice Pull” It is kind of fun pulling as hard as you can.

Great tips Stevie. The cycling community is amazing and there is always someone willing to ride with you!

The first time I went to ride with a group, I didn’t realize I picked the day when the fast cyclists trained. I was surprised to find a couple of riders willing to go at a moderate pace with me and teach me a few things about group riding. They are my mentors now and friends for life!
