Ideally I'd like the pace of this ride to be around 17 mph so group riding etiquette will be asked of everyone. However I might not be able to hack that pace so therefore depending on the group I may split it into a Fast group and Medium group (me in the medium group) as I see some strong riders provisionally in who may want to push harder get their money's worth on the day. I would still like to re-group with everyone at the turnaround for LOLs and Bantz before either heading back either as one or two groups.
I know it sounds a bit serious and everything but it's quite far for me and it might be very cold so let's make the most of the group's energy.
I've not ridden in a group before so I would really appreciate any help on the day. Having two groups sounds like a great idea (with meeting up at the halfway) but I bow to the more experienced/fitter riders.
