We don't go that fast. There have been experiments with 'racing', and it's proven to be out of keeping with the TNRC vibration. It's steady, we regroup after hills, and if there's a dash to the station, everyone dashes in small groups at different speeds. No-one gets dropped.
We do it to enjoy the relative tranquility of the road at night. I'm sure we've had riders along who are habitually much slower than you are; and many of us will struggle to ever attain your ascetic regime of 50% riding, 50% beer.
