Pace riders

Thank you for those saying don’t be on a TT frame. Changed to a normal road frame and Coco likes me again!

Coco is happy to hear that.

Hi, I reduced the trainer difficulty and maintained connection with the group more easily. Aren’t there some events where you’re not allowed to change Trainer Difficulty?

Also, today I noticed 7(?) Pace Partners and was enthused to see a couple to help me step up from 1.5 to 2.5 (1.8 and 2.1). Clicked on Diego (1.8) and hit ride… Once loaded I was parked at the side of the Hilly Loop on my own, no Pace Partner in sight.

(I quit out and joined a race instead)

No. Altering TD only alters the resistance you feel (and then only on gradients), it doesn’t make it overall “easier” or “harder” since the watts you need to put out to keep up remains the same.

OK good to know. Thanks. I thought it was best to leave it default, but am fine with changing it, makes the ride more consistent and less peak and trough.

Same thing has been happening to me with the Pace Partners. Dropped at Hilly Loop, no one in sight.
