Hello everyone,
I'm new to the forum and relatively new to cycling - a good friend and I bought road bikes for the first time last year.
Since then, I've had more time to ride than he has and gotten in pretty good shape. I think I'll even try my hand at a race or two once spring rolls around.
The problem is that my riding buddy is now having a lot of trouble keeping up. Either I ride at my pace and leave him in the dust, or wait for him and fail to get a good workout.
Aside from tacking on extra time by myself before or after the ride (which I've done), does anyone have suggestions for ways to get some good work in without leaving my friend behind?
Sprint intervals? Gearing? Ride a unicycle?
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brandon
