If I give chase and draft, they spend the rest of our time together pointing at every inconsistency in the road greater than 1mm. Usually within a few minutes they turn off some other road that doesn't make alot of sense to ride on.

I'm left all alone with nothing but questions.
This is precisely why I no longer do group rides in the US. All that pointing, and shouting. Some of us just like to ride in peace.
