Every good group has two key roles: the leader at the front and the sweep at the back. The sweep makes sure no one gets lost – and takes a lot of pressure off everyone else.
What makes a good sweep rider
- Radiate calm: The rider at the back doesn't push, but gives slower riders a sense of security.
- Keep the overview: If someone falls behind or stops, the sweep stays with them.
- Bring experience: The role suits someone who knows the route and stays calm.
Good groups are built on clear roles. On the guided rides we make sure everyone arrives relaxed.
