Cycle Tours / Re: Do you match one another's pace when you tour with a friend?
« Last post by mickeg on Today at 01:40:50 AM »I have done several tours with a former co-worker and friend. He trains for a bike tour with interval training, but never more than an hour. I instead do a lot of long distance endurance types of training.
So, on a tour, I have trouble keeping up with him during the first hour. After two hours, he is lagging and I stop on occasion to give him a chance to catch up. And after 30 miles, he is exhausted. But when I do solo tours, sometimes I have 60 to 80 mile days where my occasional touring partner has trouble making 40 miles.
That is one reason that I have done several solo tours.
