Changes to Pace Partners [May 2022]

Also wanted to opine about the variable paces…After riding with 2.1, 2.5, 3.0, 3.2, and 4.0 bots over the past few days, I don’t think it works as well for the faster paces. It seems to me that the faster the pace is, the larger the delta between the in-draft level of effort required on the flats an…

Pace Partner Weekly Update - W/C 27th June

Let me give a concrete example. I rode a couple laps of tick tock with Anquetil last week, averaging 229 watts / 2.9W/kg. But to keep up with the bot on Volcano KOM I now have to increase from 330W before dynamic pacing to over 360W. 230 on flats to 330 on hills was already a very big change in effo…

Pace Partner Weekly Update - W/C 27th June

See I’m telling you that the effort required to ride with a 3.0+ PP on a hilly route was not “the same pace forever and a day” without dynamic pacing… you can comfortably ride in the draft at 75-85% of PP W/kg on the flats, in the draft, but need to rise to 95-105% to keep up on the hills. When you…

I think there’s an issue of representation: the faster bot groups tend to be much smaller than the Coco crowd, so there aren’t as many people to chime in and complain, even if the issue is more salient for the higher speed bots because of the bigger delta between power required on flats and hills with dynamic pacing.
