Paceline instruction outside of SIG?

Submitted by Vostok on Tue, 03/21/2023 - 9:13pm

New cyclist to NYC, looking to do more group rides and possibly get into racing in future. I see pretty much all of the A/B rides require paceline skills and noted "not for inexperienced riders". The SIG would be a perfect opportunity if I didn't work ~50% of weekends...

Any recommendations for learning these skills for someone who can't do SIG? The C-level rides don't seem geared towards someone trying to learn drafting and pacelining skills unless I am off base. 

Thanks for any guidance.

Advice appreciated: small hands, looking for new shifters or maybe new bike?

No snow. Some mud, but not predominantly muddy. However, the bike needed to be washed when home.

Very rideable.

Looking for a long Sunday group ride?

Submitted by Lavvylaine on Mon, 03/13/2023 - 3:21pm

Hi there,

My name is Laine, and I am a new member to NYCC. I am looking for other competitive cyclists who wish to ride as a group on Sundays. Ride length varies from 4-6 hours. I only see a "C level" ride on Sundays, and feel there is a need for an A/B group ride. 

I will check this forum for replies on Fridays to see about coordinating a meet up point: NJ side og GWB is a great option IMO. 

Let's see what happens!

Does anyone know if the qualifying ride on 3/11 at Prospect Park has been postponed due to snow showers scheduled for Saturday?
