DIRT The Merge ENDURANCE
Group Ride
DESCRIPTION DE L'ÉVÉNEMENT
Welcome to endurance central, it’s time to take your riding to the next level. The Merge: No Limits Left are true endurance long rides. The group is looking to keep steady power pacing and work together to keep pressure on the pedals while we enjoy friendly DIRT chat and social nature. All are welcome, no discrimination, and friendly.
This is NOT a race chase. The C group will start first and ride 2.5-3.2 avg pace while the B Category rolls at a pace of 3.2 - 3.8 w/kg average at the finish.. A category rolls at a pace of 3.8+ w/kg average at the finish. This will NATURALLY create a merge/meeting of groups. At that point, the B group passes decisively and C group members have a choice to hang on to B group leader or hold with the C group leader.
The new BC group rides together while the C group maintains. The group leaders help maintain group cohesion, listen up for their guidance.
A couple other notes:
-30 min late join.
-Sweeps will be organized as needed.
-Climb pace will be announced by the group leader and is designed to keep the group together. If you want to work harder, then pull the group on the flats. Or, climb hard and then rejoin after the climb. The group leader and group will NOT chase those doing more than the decided climb pace.
-This ride is designed to keep you in a narrow power band, for true endurance training. This ride is NOT about climbing hard and sitting in on flats and downs.
-Being a nice human is always first priority.
-Those who train together become family. This family works together, supports each other, and cares about each other.
-We will not kick or harass anyone working harder than advertised pace (flyers welcome), but we do ask they do not disrupt the group and that the group listens to their leader to keep the ride endurance focused.
-Those planning to ride an average in the middle of the groups are encouraged to pick a group and stay on pace. Both groups can be pulled on the flats but spreading the group out on flats or false flats is not appreciated. Those riding 3-3.4 can practice drafting skills with B group
**please note that is overall avg, group rides have a dynamic nature.
