I just got my ass handed to me by the wolf pack hustle. the spirit was willing but the flesh was weak. If you think your fast I DARE you to roll with the wolf pack monday nights Tangs at 10PM youll find out one of two things A you are fast B you have a LONG way to go. My hats off to the wolfpack, thanks for letting me ride with you.
See u next Monday!

there are plenty of fast rides out there, but the wolfpack hustle experience is definitely one of a kind.
if you can make it out to tang's at 10, do it. i have tues AM classes next semester so looks like no WPH for me for a while =[.

Awe man good thread. You said it all. I love that ride. From a distance, haha. Last time I got dropped but I feel that determined feeling too. Everyone thinking Thursday fast should try it for sure.

Goin' fast is for the birds, I enjoy the scenery.
But, always remember kids, pass on the right.

how fast were you going? for how long? what kind of bicycle? fixed or road? what kind of bicycles were out there? I would like to try this ride but it is on a Monday... has the Wolfpack ever considered maybe doing one friday or saturday once a month or once every other month?

WP defiantly puts things in perspective.
I was already hurtin' by the time we got to echo park.
I just turned around and grabbed a slice at Garage Pizza.
My worst Wolfpack performance ever! haha.
Man looks like I need to start stepping it up again.

Not unless you want to get nailed to the curb, applies to the trucking world but wouldn't hurt in the cycling world either.
Get a job, or go back to school, or join a monastery, dipnut.

soulillest you will get there. if i'm not mistaken this is only you second wolfpack. You did better than most and way better than i did for your first ride. Keep showing up and then you'll be pulling at the front before you know it ;)
that was an epic ride last night. 65 miles damn.

What makes Wolfpack tough is the effect of the intervals.
1st you must be willing to roll the red lights with out hesitation otherwise
your forced to sprint back up to pace
2nd having to close gaps, if you unfortunate and get behind a rider who
opens a gap or is to weak to sit in you must close the gap or lose the draft,
and get dropped also
3rd keeping pace on the climbs, depending on who shows up this can be tough.
4th knowing when to push and staying out of the wind.
This comes with experience, if the group starts to get strung out in a strait line
this means the pace is up and you better put some effort out closing gaps that open.
All in all this ride can be tougher than some races, and often times more dangerous.

In cycling we always pass on the left...unless you want to end up on the curb or on the ground...If I merge right to let a rider pass on the left I'm gonna take you down.

Fuck me, I meant "
don't pass on the right", after reading what I just posted.

If I'm a novice rider, do I ever have hope of being able to hang with WP? I currently suck pretty bad. I eventually fall behind on medium-pace rides and suck extra bad at hills. I have been riding more and going on harder rides, but it's hard to tell if I'm improving... I can't even imagine avging 22mph over 65mi
with hills. But I feel like if I never complete a WP ride I will never be 100% awesome.

usually it comes in between 40 and 50, but every once in a while there's a 60 or 60+

the answer to your question is yes. the easiest way to improve is to come out every week. even if you don't finish, keep coming back until you do. once you're able to finish, keep coming back and you will improve and improve until you can hang all night.

Yip, practice makes perfect when you're rolling with the right crew.
To me, it all lies in the fear of not wanting to be "the lone wolf" dropped in the middle of dark territory.
