This has started just this week. I’ve done two group rides, both D rides where the leader has claimed to keep an average pace of 1.5 (and I trust both of these groups to stay with what they say based on past experience). I’m finding that if I go off the front, I can sit at 0.9 and stay off the front. But if I can finally get back to the blob, I’m having to ride 1.7 to stay in the group. (If I go off the back, I have to ride as hard as I normally would to get back.) I’m having a really hard time maintaining a pace through the ride, because if I get close to the front of the group at my pace, I go off the front without even trying, but if I’m in the peloton I have to accelerate dramatically to stay with the group.
I’ve seen that this has been mentioned in the past, but it’s only started happening to me this week. Does anyone have any thoughts / insight on what’s going on? I think I saw that the app updated last week – is this an issue linked to the update again?
