'Lord' Dell (of FNRttC fame) appoints people to stand at various points along the ride to point people in the right direction (usually right or left turns or at roundabouts). The waymarker can only leave his/her 'post' when the TECs (tail end charlies) arrive then they ride to catch the group. Rinse and repeat.
With a large group of people of varying speeds/abilities, this can sometimes take a while but it works well and reassures those who worry about holding up the group that they truly won't be left behind.
