Triple J Posted June 12, 2016 Share #1 Posted June 12, 2016 Did my first benefit ride today, It was a cancer ride for a local town. Man was I unprepared Temp was pushing 90 degrees, minimal breeze. I got fried. Should have taken a light colored long sleeve shirt. Face took a beating from the sun as well, not sure of the cure for that other than lots of sunscreen. They had it well planned out but not well executed IMO. They had tend road guards for leading and shutting down intersections, problem I saw was the leaders were really putting along, very seldom did I need 5th gear, spent 60% in 4th gear, another 20 in 3rd gear, and the remainder in 5th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowrollwv Posted June 13, 2016 Share #2 Posted June 13, 2016 I am not sure what type of roads you were on but if they were state highways or secondary roads it is not uncommon to go a little slower on a group ride. Mainly because one never knows the caliber of riders that will join the group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
