Ride etiquette

What to do when someone on your club ride thinks it appropriate to blast music from a speaker in their bag for the entirety of the ride, and the duration of the coffee break. WAC.

Find a new club?

Skydancer how would you feel about adding something about not going off the front ahead of the leader when you don't actually know the way?

I hate to sound like a grump, but I find the single most frustrating thing when you're leading a ride (and have a mixed ability group) is the faster people from within the group going off ahead, even though they don't know the way, when you as the ride leader could easily go off ahead but you're not because you're thinking about people at the back and not dropping them.

What then happens is:

• The group gets split up
  
• Those who have gone ahead get to junction
  
• At which point they either wait (the sensible option) or take a wrong turn (the non-sensible option). Unfortunately the non-sensible option actually happens fairly often
  
• I get annoyed.
  
  
  

Maybe the onus is on me to do more of 1? Although I have found that even when I explain the problem with doing it mid-ride people still do it :/
