No worries Darren, actually we didn't slow down much when we split off and we only did 5 miles less. The other group increased their speed a bit certainly initially but then had to slow down, I think some of the riders may have wished that they came with us instead.... Wink

It won't be long before we can stick together as one run though but I think we'll need to look then at a faster group too (a few of the riders probably still found the faster longer ride a bit too easy today). Would be good to get enough out to do 3 runs reallly (slower, normal club run and a faster one) but we'll see - hopefully you'll pass back to the tri club that it was ok and we'll get some more out. I'd like to think that some more people would volunteer to lead the groups in the future as well but this all takes time.

As we said earlier we won't be riding next week as there's a LRRL race on the Sunday but we will probably go out Saturday instead - keep you posted.

Glad you enjoyed the ride Darren .

I'm surprised I managed to stay with the faster group as they went off at 22mph for the first few miles!

I think Phil has a problem with his bike - it keeps riding away with him! Laughing

I think there is something wrong with Phil's speedo - when we split again later on, we kept it above 20 all the way back, but it did mean I was only five minutes late at the mother in laws for Sunday lunch!

Good to see so many out on Sunday. Re: Beck's comment - I'm quite happy to have a go at leading a group, but it would have to be on an ad-hoc basis, as my personal/business life is far to chaotic at the moment to guarantee a regular commitment!
