Unwritten Rules / Tips and Tricks

Out riding the other day, we encountered a team of riders.  A peloton for the most part.  There must have been at least a dozen and a half.  All extremely talented riders.  Fortunately for us, we had the chance to pick their brains for advice, and share some unwritten rules of the road.  Rules not read nor written, but rather learned through experience.  The discussion proved invaluable.

As a result, we have decided to take this knowledge gained, and pursue an effort of establishing a list of unwritten rules/tips and tricks for our fellow Groucho's.  Please note, these tips are designed to help those "middle of the packers," and may not be applicable to those of gold medal stature.  We hope our tips help you become a better runner/biker/swimmer, prevent injury and accident, while helping to build comaraderie among fellow athletes as well as set positive tone for our sports within our communities.

Check back often as we will be posting numerous tips.  Our hope is one per day.  But that is a hope, not a promise.  But we will do our best.  And of course, if you have any tips or tricks of your own, please share.  No tip is a stupid tip.  If it works and helps you, it will work and help others.

  1. I never run a stop or red. Ever. Neither should you.

    BUT

    If you're gonna run a stop or red on the fly you run it from the middle of the road. You have better visibility and more escape options.
