[QUOTE="Toecutter, post: 13943, member: 74"] And keep him visible in your mirror. That way, nobody gets accidentally dropped from the group. I experienced this on the Markleeville lunch ride. It was hard to resist the temptation to keep pace with the bike ahead, but I felt I was doing the right thing by keeping in touch with the bike behind me. If they had a problem, I would know it right away, and not have to backtrack from the next stop, 40 miles or so down the road. A group ride is more fun as a group, and all bets are off on my solo rides. It's hard to change styles sometimes, but rewarding in the end. On the Sequoia ride, the bike behind me stayed up so I kept pressing. Somewhere back there somebody got dropped, but the ground rules weren't exactly set ahead of time and this was my first group ride. We should make it a point to have a pre-ride briefing, so everybody is on the same page. I also think the leader and sweeper should be in radio contact, optimally. [/QUOTE]
