Cycling training in a group can be done a number of ways dependent of the conditions - learn these different methods of group riding to use in your cycling training.

Social turns is the name we'll use for take turns when the pace is less extreme. There will be two lines of riders - when the lead riders have finished their turn ( by mutual agreement) they'll pull off to the side and fall to the back on either side of the main riding lines. As this can take up more road space be aware of surrounding traffic conditions.

When riding into a side wind an echelon may form to maximise speed and efficiency. This is essentially a group rolling turns but spread out across the road to take advantage of the cover from the wind the leading riders are providing. The rule here is too pull off into the wind - this will dictate which way the group is rotating.

Finally Pacelines - a signal line of riders going at high speed. The lead rider will pull off and drift to the back once they have expended all the energy they can. Usually seen in team time trial and sprint finishes the paceline is built for maximum speed.

Different group riding techniques apply for different conditions and needs. you need to be aware of them all in order to ride safely and efficiently with a group.

Ride safe, ride smart.
