Ever come last in a cycling race?
I have been riding my TCR C2 road bike for about 2months now and decided to join my local club which happens to be Carnegie Cycling club in Melbourne. Now i have just clocked up 1000kms and thought i would go alright. My first race was in d grade the lowset, we went for just over 45mins on a crit circuit my average speed was 32.1 and i got lapped twice. Man i am usually slow to pick things up but tend to work at it till i am really good, but i was hoping this time things might be a little different, anyway, i think i really need to work on my turns, i really have some fire burning to improve now might be just what i needed. Can you maybe offer me some suggestions from your own personal experience, not just in cycling but when you started out really slow and how you managed to stick at it and become really good at something. Thanks in advance :0)
Firstly don't get to down hearted, An average speed of 32 isn't too bad for a solo ride. Different cycling disciplines require different techniques.
In a crit ride the most important thing is to stay with the pack. If you drop off the back you will have a much higher work load. At 30 km/h wind resistance accounts for around 80% of your effort.(Solo). If you ride in the pack this will drop well below 50%. At 40km/h there is an even larger difference.
The most common mistake a new rider makes is to drop to the back of the pack just before a climb. This usually results in them being dropped off. Take every opportunity to work your way forward in the group. But move to the side when you know you are slower.(courteously)
The best place I have found to learn pack techniques is during the larger charity rides. If you get dropped off one group there will be another along in a few minutes. There will always be a group that match you level.
Try to strike up a conversation with the older riders most will be only to happy to give you pointers. Since your a member of a club, listen to the other members. Be wary of bum steers.
Competition builds character losing builds more. The real satisfaction comes from improving.
