I used to be able to hang with the roadies last year in the group rides but after spending the last 3 months slowing down and basebuilding and working on my endurance, my top end speed has evaded me. I cant keep up with the roadie guys in the sprints anymore, the only thing I can do is pull and usually can pull at 24-25mph. I know thats not as fast as you guys but what can I do to get my sprint strength and top end speed back while maintaining my endurance. I would like to be able to take these guys down again especially while on my tricycle but I dont want it to ruin my endurance for the betterment of my ego, ha.
