A couple of the pootle crew regulars are lightning quick but they know the score, social pace, you want to go faster go elswhere. They come for the craic not training. <BR/><BR/>But saying that we have had some fast riders who didn't know the score and all they ended up doing was a lot of waiting around at the top of the hills! <BR/><BR/>Juancho you muppet, you got my url wrong in the post below this one! How are people supposed to go "marauding through their comments pages, spewing 10th Avenisms along the way" if they can't get there ;)<BR/><BR/>Heatwave here in blighty, tonight is going to be fun on the pale skin/British temperature tolerance in the heat :)Fat Ladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05535913262117202508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12203828.post-1153225486516772472006-07-18T08:24:00.000-04:002006-07-18T08:24:00.000-04:00Agreed.

Unless everyone knows where they are and what the deal is, you are responsible for maintaining contact with the person behind you, in my opinion.Juanchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01283672346601878803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12203828.post-1153225248710220892006-07-18T08:20:00.000-04:002006-07-18T08:20:00.000-04:00If you are the slow one, after the third wait-upyo...If you are the slow one, after the third wait-up<BR/>you should roll up saying, "ok, boys point me home, <BR/>& yall go on". Because if you're not keeping up with your group, and you're not completely wiped out trying to catch them the first two times they were waiting on your slow a**. THEN You suck.<BR/> If you are really wiped out, go home knowing you just got a bunch stronger, and the boys won't be roll'in their eyes next time you pull up to ride.<BR/><BR/>OK Big Worm..........<BR/>What about the opposite of a dropee?<BR/>The fast kiddies who tag along on a "slow group" ride? hmmmmmm... what's the etiquette here?<BR/><BR/>skullheadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12203828.post-1153215937161593752006-07-18T05:45:00.000-04:002006-07-18T05:45:00.000-04:00Leave no man (or lady) behind!

The club I ride with (www.badbrainsmbc.com) have three club rides a week, the main club ride on a thursday at a reasonable pace, the tuesday pootle (my baby) for a more social/newbie pace and the tuesday Ginsters crew ride for a pacier run. But even with this catering for all riders getting dropped is not an easy thing to manage!<BR/><BR/>Personally I don't ever think there is ever an excuse for it, the rider in front should always be responsible for the next rider behind. On the Pootle crew rides, I always ride somewhere near the back of the pack to make sure we don't lose someone (thursdays are different matter; I'm at the back then because I'm rubbish) <BR/><BR/>My two pence<BR/><BR/>Fat LadFat Ladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05535913262117202508noreply@blogger.com
