[QUOTE="madmike2, post: 45928, member: 151"] TWN, it seems the same issue that always haunts me when I lead a ride. I really do not know the skill level of those behind, especially if I "wick it up". I have had reports from some in the groups I've led that not all riders ride [I]The Pace[/I] and will bunch up in corners. Part of riding your own ride is recognizing the one ahead of you is riding his own ride and giving him space to do so. I always attempt to preface group rides with a "This is a ride, not a race!" statement. But I never stop worrying about those in the middle of the pack, especially since I've BTDT. At some point, I have to realize if I am pushing the rider ahead of me to ride above his/her personal limit, then its time for [B]me[/B] to back off. Could be why I'm not so quick to form/lead a group anymore. Its sooo much easier to meet a few friends and have a nice ride. [/QUOTE]
