its a no drop ride, even though I had to walk up some of the hills they were waiting at the top (I told them not to wait for me, but there are other slow people.) As for the number, 75 is a lot, but ive seen more than 100 on that ride. What are they gonna do, turn people away? Splitting up into different groups doing the same route makes it so cars have to pass multiple big groups which is obnoxious. Splitting up and taking separate routes requires more organization than this ride is capable of.

Its not exactly my favorite ride, but it brings a ton of new cyclists and young blood out. Its a net boon for the local cycling community, very approachable for a newcomer compared to pack riding. Downhills suck but its whatever. People who get inconvenienced by us can cry me a river, they are upset than they are too poor to afford a cervelo
