After trying to avoid everyone doing ther own thing on an SV Ecosse rideout today, there have been the usual mixed reactions...
There are lines of though whereby the fast "Group" go off on their own and "have a blast"
. The Slow / less experienced "group" arrive some time later at the meeting points. That is if they haven't stopped to fetch one person out of a hedge because they felt under pressure to play catch up with the other riders, causing them to ride beyond their ability.
The other school of thought is that the slow/ less experienced riders "Group" go at the front and set a pace that they are comfortable with
. This ensures that there is no "pressure" - real or imaginary put upon riders of lesser ability. If the "Fast" group wish to "have a blast", they only need to fall back and then "go for it" to do so. As long as most people know the rout or destination there is no problem.
What do you lot do?
