I missed that run cos I was on my holibags

but you did the right thing in not trying to keep up with a faster group. Always ride within your comfort levels !! Usually on the larger rides there is groups of different speeds going round. alaways make sure you have a map or know the route. There is usually always plenty of stops to get everybody bunched back up again so im surprised that didn't happen on the one you were on (there always are when i'm out cos you can't smoke with a helmet on !!

)
Don't let one experience put you off. come along to the next one !!
