Why don’t you take a turn on the front?

Rant ON.

What is it with riders that will suck wheel all day on a training ride?

Why won’t they come to the front?

When will they do their fair share of the work?

Even when they get to the front they just sit up. Why?

When there is a gap opening, they come through and then immediately sit up again, instead of keeping the pace and closing the gap.

Do they really think they don’t need to ride on the front at all?

Do they think it’s clever or smart?

Even Ruth knows that she needs to ride on the front, and she’s only 14 and only been riding for 2 months.

If you want to ride on the local training rides, you need to take your turns on the front. Otherwise you’re just wheel sucking, frustration inducing, parasites.

Rant OFF.

    Amen

    The only excuse would be if you can’t pull through cause the pace is so high, but then if that is the case then get in the back!
