Went on a slow 32 mile group ride with my local bike club on a cloudy, cloudy day. Small group, leader and group decided to ride a little faster than planned, on the low end of the moderate speed group. I've been doing that speed solo, but it was too fast for me in a group, so I dropped out at 10 miles.. I rode home ... 2 mph faster than the group's speed going North, but it's downhill going home. And 'downhill' is an exaggeration - home is 100-200' lower than where I turned around (10-20 ft/mile). I got 14 or 15 PRs on the ride.
I have no beef with the leader or the group. I said the higher speed would be OK, and when it became clear it wasn't, they all expressed a willingness to slow down. Good leader, nice group.
