No nerves here, do whatever you enjoy most. Use coffee break, don’t use it, pedal your bike, don’t pedal your bike, it’s all good. If your ride is improved by not riding, I won’t argue with that. You can also disconnect the network from your game device for a few seconds so you can keep riding but disappear from anyone else.
I quite like it when I pick up a remora. ![]()
Especially if I’m approaching a sprint segment. ![]()
A teleport back to the main group (with the beacon) would help struggling riders more in events.
They battle to get back, then the ride leader says right everyone is back and they go back to normal pace which is what caused the poor slower rider to be dropped in the first place, and they are probably still struggling after having to chase back.
Everyone else just had it easy for a few minutes while the sweeping riders try to get everyone back. Seen that a lot.
Teleport back might help retain more riders in the event, good for the social aspect. Also it might encourage those riders who feel like giving up to keep in the event if they can just jump straight back.
