Social ride etiquette

oh, and I agree with bothwell. have been the slowest on rides, and really do not like being at the front. don't want to be left behind either, but somewhere in the middle / towards the back is most comfortable. at the front I just feel like I need to keep trying to go as fast as I can as everyone is behind me :/

Can empathised with this, but I don't think they necessary mean you're right in the front leading the ride, rather just behind the leader who set the paces.

This is probably one of those thing where the leader make a difference in making the individual feel comfortable to ride and not get the impression they're holding up everyone.
