Running in conjunction with the 'How to' section from our sister magazine Cycling Plus, here's the first in a multi-part road cycling skills series featuring pro tips from members of the British Continental squad Team Raleigh-GAC.
First up is a skill essential should you start riding with a cycling club - group riding. Here, Canadian pro Jamie Sparling talks through the essential things to keep in mind in a packed bunch.
The series comes from a coaching day courtesy of Skoda at Hillingdon Cycle Circuit in London, where six winners of a Cycling Plus competition were given a day's tuition from the guys of Team Raleigh-GAC.
The series continues in the coming weeks with tips on cornering and descending.
