Since riding with the club from early Autumn last year, I've never experienced anything as rigorously organised as the chain gang / through and off riding group technique I've found here:
www.gregarios.co.uk/cycling-clubs/chain-gang-through-and-off.html
Is this something I've missed at WVCC / something the greater distance riders do as a matter of course? It would seem to put less pressure on any single two leading riders against the wind - anyone have any experience of this technique, it's ease to pick up and can recommend it? I'm particularly interested bearing in mind my forthcoming LEJOG challenge and whether this is something worth working on with my work colleagues who are also on the challenge.
Comments welcomed please.
Thanks

Yes, This is an old and tested way of riding fast, the Old Through and Off, I have done this for many, many Years. I go through to the front and then go straight OFF THE BACK, and thats through and off. Great if you like being on your own. Les Charnley ( Billy no mates)
We use similar techniques on the track sometimes too.
