Recently, I have begun to ride with a group of guys who ride professionally. The first day, I finished the ride with great 1, though I tried hard to keep up with one guy for most of the way. To my 2, I did a little better the second time.
I decided to work harder to improve. Yesterday, I focused so much on my ride that I 3 the short route I usually take; 4 , I stayed on the long route. I had never used this route, so I wasn't really sure about which 5 I should take. Thankfully, a group of four riders6, and I just followed them.
A few minutes later, one of the guys got a flat 7, and, with the help of the others, he had it changed in about a minute. After we started riding again, I noticed something 8. The guy at the front would ride 9 for a couple of minutes, then he would move over to the side, 10 his way to the end of the line, and the guy behind him would move into the lead position. The process would 11 every few minutes. It was a lot easier than riding alone to catch up with the first rider. This time I had a great time and I think it is the fastest I've ever12 .
This made me realize how important teamwork was, and the 13 of having a great team. There's no need to worry about your falling behind others. The entire team 14, and so do you. You get your time to shine, and so does everyone else. You cannot get anywhere—or even make any worthwhile improvement—without a 15 . Who else will stop and help you to change your flat tire?
