#highway #cycling #bikestart July 27, 2023. Video from last year: • 8 Lakes group race on the road. 50 km. Distance: section of the road from the square of the village of Shelomentsevo to the entrance to the village of Nazarovo. Group races on the road are held over a variety of distances - from 20 to 250 km. Cyclists start at the same time. The distance can be a ring, between separate cities or go in two directions (with a turn). In group races, a cyclist can ride behind an opponent, while the physical load is significantly reduced. The load is also somewhat reduced on descents, when riding downwind, on forest roads protected from the wind. Physical loads increase with increasing speed (acceleration, jerk, throw), when overcoming climbs, riding against the wind. The loads received by the racer during the competition, according to physiological characteristics, can lie in all zones of work intensity, starting from moderate - during the speed drop, to maximum - during jerks, at the finish, etc.
