The Advantage of a Sweeper/Coach
When I ride with some groups I have to ride hard. I have to keep the wheel and stay with the group because if I get dropped then I need to work hard to get back onto their wheels. In contrast when I ride with other groups, as a result of having to ride hard sometimes, I end up faster.
Too Fast Today at least one person objected to me being faster, and thought that I should be riding with another group.
