[quote]PS but still think some riders lack the balls to move up to a faster group!
I agree but on the other hand I also think that it is a gradual process that is working slowly hence the increased numbers that are now going out on the 18mph group.
I think they key is good stewardship and discipline, then people feel comfortable in moving up. I know the speed creeps up (which I believe is good as it stretches people) but I always try to keep an eye on the group, especially at the back, to see how they are coping and slow it down if necessary if people are struggling.
I like to hope that if I take out a group they get a good safe ride that pushes them but doesn't kill them but please tell me at the time if you have a problem.
