don't do a pull leading into the bottom of a hill

be smart about the sprint points and who/when to follow wheels. Do you like to sprint or lead out?

Use terrain to your advantages, ie flats, false flats, downhill, head wind.

As you get more fit and better endurance #1 and #2 will get easier.

Don't forget to talk to other and have conversations, but pay attention when you hear the gears starting to click.

MOST important one!!! is to come back next week regardless what happens on the ride
