It just makes it so much harder to ride as a group if some of you are geared and some not.
I mean whatever is cool, I guess. No one's going to stop anyone from riding. It's a free country after all. But here's a 'how-not-to'. The young lady in the pictures hadn't ridden a bike for 9 months and borrowed a bike that was much too big for this ride. At Basingstoke, which is about 1/2 way, she was in a lot of difficulty. She asked us to leave here there. But it was 2am in the morning! So we nursed her the rest of the way. Credit to her for digging in, but really!
