I have been trying to do this local "club" ride/race each week in the town where I live. It's flat, about 30 miles, and can be very fast! When we start out this ride, it's pretty easy - maybe 17-18mph. Shortly after that, we bump the pace up to about 21-22mph. However, shortly beyond that point in the ride, the pace picks up to 25-26mph and I inevitably get dropped.....just can't seem to hang on at that pace. Can anyone recommend any type of training to make the transition easier when the pace changes so that I could hang on to the group a bit easier? They hold this higher pace for the rest of the ride, maybe varying it from 24 up to 32mph at certain points.
