After a quick warmup I tried riding with a 3R group above my ability level. After getting dropped in spite of lots plenty of heavy breathing and lots of burning in my legs I exited the ride and then rejoined so I could ride with the group. It really didn’t help much and I got dropped again. After that I just tried to play catch up and find another middle group to hang with.
The rides – Zwift
The bike – Trek Madone 6.9
