[QUOTE="MCML, post: 8185, member: 75"] the previous posts have done a great job laying out the "rules" and I have nothing to add. FWIW, here's my reaction to group rides over the past couple of years. Prior to that, I had done no group riding and I was a bit reluctant to participate in group rides in part because most statistics indicate that group riding increases the level of risk to all involved above that of solo riding. The FJR seems to have attracted riders who take their safety, and that of others, pretty seriously. As a result, the group rides in which I have participated generally have been conduted in an atmosphere of consciousness and consideration. This is not to say that a spirit of high spiritedness does not prevail. The FJR is not, after all, a land yacht. Sometimes some part of a group will push the envelope technique-wise. However, there is little pressure for anyone to "keep up" and out ride their abilities and/or comfort zone. As in skiing, a good M.O. is to find someone who's technique is just a tad bit more advanced, drop in behind them and learn baby learn. Again, as in recreational skiing, the only "competition" is between a person and him/her self. [/QUOTE]
