I'm buddies with multiple national champs and 1 former world class rider, and some of them do group rides pretty much every day. Their zone 2 is huge though and they can probably stay in it while im in zone 3 or 4. Just showing up to the group rides is honestly pretty good training, not optimal but I should be able to finish them all if I stay consistent. I wouldn't be the first person to get good by just doing the group rides without any real structure.
