Having spent yesterday morning looking at my speedo reading 45k on the flat I thought 'this is ridiculous, I'd have to do 50k in the wind if i was shelled out the back' (I got shelled with 20k to go so limped home alone) I read this with interest.
I cannot emphasise enough the benefit of keeping together and the importance of finding a group speed. However if an individual is obviously suffering at what everyone else considers a relaxed pace... what to do?
