My first forum ride and I absolutely loved it. Great route and a great bunch people. A big thank you to all involved for making it such an awesome evening.
For what it's worth, I thought it was a pretty fair pace. Brisk but comfortable - and I'm far from being the strongest of riders. I think any slower might have been a bit chilly and, for me at least, less fun.
I was actually really impressed with the number of people who took the time to hang back a bit to make sure that those behind didn't get lost - they certainly saved me from ending up in some of the less-explored parts of West London.
It's a shame that despite this people still got dropped. I think the suggestion that there should be more pre-arranged stops (or even just the same number, but more widely known about) for people to catch-up would really help.
