Cycling Group Ride Breakdown & Tactics (Cycling Tips) 

That's fascinating. How a training can transform into pure race. Thanks for giving awesome material to us and explaining tactics on cycling. Keep it up, bro!

If only pro peloton offered live camera views and commentary like this!

what a competitive group ride! love it

Thanks for adding km/h for us :) Great video bruh!

sometimes it's hard to see if the road is flat or uphill is there any way to show that on the screen? I really like your video cool dude!

Great Video. What camera are you using?

Love these. ✌🏽️

What gearing do you use, and what grade are you pushing 600 watts up at? Doesn't look steep compared to the climbs im used too but the camera can be deceiving. I am curious because i am thinking of changing my gearing and i am watching and asking to see what other riders who post are using and on what terrains. thanks!

What do you use for the display on your screen bro?

I eat meat

Dude this video was so rad.

thanks alot for using my music!!! :)

Super informative for a beginner cyclist like me, thanks dude!

These tactics are cool to listen to for someone who just rides casually. Awesome and funny stuff!

I wish I had some flat areas like this to ride. As soon as I go out the front door I'm going up hill already lol

HOW DARE YOU NOT GET 100KM WHEN YOU"RE AT 99KM!!!!!!!! WHY??????

LOL ive always thought it was just who has the best condition but wtf. no there are tactics

Metric system for the win!!!

finally some awesome cycling content on YT

Loved the insight into the mental side, I usually find myself just aimlessly riding on group rides no purpose and probably a reason why my progress has stagnated.

You guys are frigen animals! You'd drop me like a bad habbit😢

You know you're fit and fresh when your brain still can think about tactics ! Oh, the guy with blue pants looked stronger from the beginning...

Nice to see not every one has the fanciest $6k bike with 88mm carbon wheels. Here in Miami, that’s all you see. But not many put in the work. Just ride to Starbucks and back lol

I'm enjoying the upload frequency! Your videos are really informative and inspiring.

HOW THE HELL DO YOU MAINTAIN THAT SPEED!! I can maintain 22-26mph for like 5min and then a comfortable 18-20 for miles. But i'm a noob :)

"You can see guys are just getting flicked." Lmao I don't know why I think that phrase is so funny.

Looking at the numbers of watts you guys are putting out is mind boggling 🤪 As a fairly new cyclist it’s definitely a level to aspire to 🙏

Thanks for making this video. I made my club watch it since you covered everything w/ examples on placement, following wheels forward, knowing the terrain and anticipating other riders and their abilities. These are the videos that I really enjoy. Keep up the good work.

Second Practice Crit tonight bro! This video I think will help. Goal is to finish tonight 🤙🏾 not taking chances, not burning matches, just staying with the guys amd riding smart amd safe.

This video is awesome. Please do more like this.

Absolutely entertaining. Learned a ton. Thanks man.

How do you get the graphics from your bike computer onto your film? Fantastic quality footage. GoPro or a different brand?

Thanks for sharing. I just started cycling and I stopped doing group rides bc I thought they were disorganized w all the gaps, but you helped me realize this is what happens in races too.

great, I liked the part of not breaking so you dont loose momentum

I know nothing about cycling, but found that fascinating. Vegan for good.

Tsss... wish I had roads like that where I live by

Awesome video brah! More of these please.

Really loving these videos dude!

I don't know how you guys do it. Any time I hit 30mph I just put a hole in my fuel tank. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 My legs would be done for the day. I'm not a cyclist though, I just ride. I love cycling.

How can you go as hard as possible up the climb and still have something left at the top? Your obviously not going as HARD AS POSSIBLE otherwise you'd be spewing at the top.

finest cycling content, very cool how you share strategies.

30 dudes is a big ass group ride. The only rides in my club (which is a fairly large club near New York City) that come to that size are beginner rides to teach basic group skills, or shop rides which pull in everybody who ever got a bike or a tune up there, regardless of skills. The only time we get 30 fast guys together is for that same shop's Friday Night race series in the summer.

The last time I rode did the World Champions ride I threw up at the turn around. The pace is ridiculous from beginning to end. Sadly 9 out of 10 there's a head wind coming back.

So I assume this was a pure workout / race ish vibe ? Not actually a proper group ride because to my knowledge being from London, a group ride means working in a team at the same pace to be the most efficient as possible as a pack. Nonetheless, it still looked like a cool race group / ride and still fun.

Are speeds faster while in a group ride than compared to riding alone? I've never been in a group ride but in an all out sprint I can barely hit 28mph and that seemed like an average speed here. Am I just slow?

This is seriously one of the best cycling channels on YT! I have learned so much from your commentary and explanations. Plus I get psyched to ride just watching these and the editing is top notch. Keep 'em coming!

Always the best vids 👍🏼

Man this is such a good upload!

So Cycling is like being a little bitch, get as much as you want and give as less as you could back :)

All you had to do was shout up or slow down or speed up this would never happen if you shout out too riders while in the paceline.

Why don't you attack? Your just sitting in ! Anyone can do that !

so inspiring - nearly as much as getting a new bike.

What do you think about the roller training ? at home in winter.

Very helpful 👍🏻thanks!

How was that a group ride?

Hey Vegan C, can you share your workouts?

Best part 7:00 to 7:41 “and sure as shit here goes nick”

that was very interesting. thanks for the breakdown and the thought process! it inspires me to do some VO for my commuting videos. very well done!

awesome vid

great video mayn!

why are you not riding on the road, this is what newbie cyclists do, that solid line marks the edge of the carriageway, and the strip of tarmac to the right is not a cycle lane. Many Australian newbie chain gangs do this and it's plain stupid IMHO. on a high speed road like that with that traffic density you'd be safer in the lane and have far more room to go through and off, less likely to have any errant motorist (especially in a tonner) getting too close as they have to change lanes. Think about it.

Awesome commentary dude.

Awesome video as allways

Neat video. If you're a sadist, like myself, the best part of fast group rides is to purposefully open gaps (especially when it gets fast) and force others to close them. If no one is able to close the gap, snap off and bridge across as fast as possible so no one can follow. Crosswinds are the best environment for this. Happy riding!

This video finally got me to subscribe. It's truth it's a beat down...you can't always win, respect for sharing and teaching.

I'm a new rodie as four plates and 21 screws in my right ankle slowed my Motorcross racing. This video shows why fast group rides are just as much fun as hard Motos with the boys! Great video and even better description of what's going on!!

BRUH, you should come by to the east bay in Oakland to do the tuesday's "POO RIDE"

Dam the most I can do on my mountain bike is 50 km, but I have never really broken down on my road bike.

Oh man, I'd LOVE to be a part of group rides like this. I can only find super casual group rides.

I want to be fast

Thanks for the video and discussion. I was on a ride mid-summer with a mix of racers and non-racers ranging up cat-2 (I'm approaching 5) on down and my plan was to sit and see how long I could hang with the lead group. I got into that same situation, I would be on a wheel and then I noticed a gap opening, so I get around and fill the gap only to repeat. I did get on the lead group but I did not last long with them. Often times I get dropped cresting hills as well. I was on another ride and I found myself pulling into a climb and I managed to hold on the first time. I sat for a while and then on my first pull through I found myself at the front again into a climb, that time I was toast. I rode solo and then broke the route off to go home (which was my plan).

You are a great teacher.

That was so entertaining to watch! I haven't thought there are so much tactics in cycling and I just realized I need a power meter...

That's by far the worst riding group I have ever seen, a group of egoists

4:03 That's a recipe for getting hit by a car. There is no reason that dude should be all the way out into the lane.

Marvelous.

great video

fantastic tutorial on breakaway dynamics. as a sprinter I don't find myself there very often. hope to use your tips for next time I do

Fun video!

Gaps on a fast group do me soo much...hold the wheel like your life depends on it.

That was great to hear your breakdown of the ride! I’m just getting into cycling and it was really informative. Thanks brah!

Where can I find awesome group rides like this? let me join youuuuu!

Dat last attack...

what a great video... so well said... simple... exact Thank you

Awesome

What happens if a rider gets a flat? Does everyone stop while he changes tubes or does he pretty much get left behind?

Hey man, that was a great breakdown. Great job recognizing those early gaps. Very interesting B R E A T H

COOL

Dude, I can't wait to be in this group. I'm so tired of getting popped night in and night out. Thanks for these vids bro

Really good feedback. I really enjoyed watching it.

What is this app that records video and shows your live data/specs?

Excelent video, i have a question, how do you measure everything?

Great commentary about the ride and fast changing situations.

This sort of videos are the best! nice one!

ita good to see more and more people going vegan. its hard but worth

you stayed up with them even after intervals cause vegan life.

omg the speed on these guys... is this normal for road bikes? 36kmh average, that'd get me to work so fast... I'm on like 25kmh (15mph) for about the same distance on my mountain bike... would I be faster if I get a road bike or should I just start training cycling more seriously?

This is a nice cooling-down after watching McGregor win EZ!

I enjoyed this video very much. Thanks for the tips!

9:30 why didnt you obey that stop sign?
