^^ Yep, I had mixed feelings about that. At one stage I think the guys up front decided to step things down a gear to keep everyone together, but then it seemed to split up again. Unfortunately I think this was just another effect of not having a clear ride leader. Props for being "big enough" to sit back though - I can guarantee you had a better ride going at your own pace than giving yourself a hernia trying to keep up. And rest assured all forum rides are not that fast, so don't be shy about giving another one a bash. Nice to meet you BTW...
