Paceline Choices

From Left to Right:
Single Paceline
Double Paceline
Rotating Paceline
Echelon

For our group (small size) we should do the Rotating Paceline if we are 6 or more, or Single Paceline for 5 or less. If there is a strong side wind Echelon is a good option. The Double Paceline works better for larger groups (12 or more).
Just my opinion. We can expirement and see what works for us.

    I think we may be a group of up to 25. My vote is double rotating paceline with the leading line away from the wind

    I think they limit the groups to 12. Most likely in order to keep the rest stop (food/water/bathroom) moving quickly. If we get 12 people will be great, any less than that and the double paceline will make us work harder.

    The youtube videos are perfect example of a Rotating Paceline, Double Paceline is different. we will get some practice this weekend. We have to think of a route with less traffic and wide enough road for the purpose.
