Group ride pacing
Just wanted to get some opinions here about organizing group rides.
So I'm part of a large group of riders, but we're not an official club. We organize rides on FB and group chat. The usual protocol is that someone will post a ride a day or two before. It's not necessarily the same person. So, let's say that someone posts a ride for an easy-paced recovery ride. During the ride the speed creeps up to where it's no longer easy. What do you do? Do you start yelling at folks? Do you, as the person who organized it, get to the front and slow things right down? We usually say, for example, easy pace xx kph average.
Some in the group are perfectly happy going at the higher pace. Others who signed up expecting an easy-paced ride are not so happy.
What say you?
