Ah yes, the Sunday morning peloton — where the cast of characters is basically the same in Dublin, Denver, or Dubai 😄
Here’s the field guide you’re thinking of — the 5 riders who always show up for that 8 AM coffee loop:
1. The “Fred”
Head-to-toe in neon or full Team Sky replica kit, carbon bottle cages, $12k bike... cruising at a chill 12 mph. Looks pro, rides vibes. Every group has one
2. The Tech Obsessive
Handlebars = airplane cockpit. Power meter, GPS, HRM, and he’ll quote his watts/kg at red lights. Might stop mid-café to adjust tire pressure for 0.5 watts of savings
3. The Overly Competitive Half-Wheeler
It’s a “no-drop coffee ride,” but he didn’t get the memo. If you pull at the front, he’ll edge half a wheel ahead until everyone’s gassed. Every town sign = Tour de France sprint
4. The Fixie Purist
Shows up to a hilly 50-miler on a track bike because “derailleurs are weakness.” 30 RPM grinding up climbs, cartoon spin-outs on descents. Respect the commitment
5. The Clueless Survivor
Loves the vibes, but chain sounds like angry birds and can’t fix a flat. Drops on every minor hill, ends up on a 3-hour solo adventure. We’ve all been there
Real talk though: Jokes aside, the best groups survive because they actually communicate — call out potholes, hold your line, no half-wheeling, and regroup at the top. Check your tire pressure before you leave, not in the café bathroom.
Which one are you? Or more importantly — which one is in your Dublin group that you’re trying not to tag?

Please to share another milestone in my coaching journey. Completed the ignite program with British Triathlon the former level 3 high performance coach program. Looking forward to see what this journey brings me next. Thank you all my mentors and coaches that help my during this journey special thanks to for being just a WhatsApp away from a chat.
