RIDING IN A PACELINE

The Paceline, also called drafting, is a special form of group riding where cyclists take turn breaking the wind at the front of the group, then pull off, drop to the back, and follow behind the other riders until rotating up to the front again. With Century Riders the energy savings of working together in a paceline can be significant. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE on how to Ride in a Paceline.
