Certainly no need to apologise, I had a great time - was just concerned that I was slowing everyone else up. It's all good experience and I have a better idea of what to expect for next time.
I was getting a bit of a kicking from dragging myself up those hills :-)
You're not the only one, I need better gearing or better legs or something...!

Glad you enjoyed it. I hadn't realised this was your first time off-road. I'd usually check, so I can only apologise for that and remember for the future.
Thanks for those who have offered suggestions for not losing people. It's never going to be 100% in Epping, as there are always alternate routes on even those tiny little trails and you don't always have the option to see very far ahead. I might have appeared a little grumpy after the 100th stop that day, but I was getting a bit of a kicking from dragging myself up those hills :-)
I'll learn a bit from each new ride and hopefully they'll just keep getting better. I'm mostly glad that nobody broke themselves
