The most egregious was when they passed me on a false flat and I wasn't even able to grab onto the tail of the group, should have saved more to put out an effort when the last guys passed I guess. Some French cat 2 dude also got dropped there and he said lots of people got dropped on that ride and I shouldn't feel bad. Maybe I shouldn't even bother with the groups that I know are faster than I can handle, but its so convenient, they are on my way to and from work. Have any of you experienced getting chronically dropped from faster groups?
You need to find a slower group until you're doing the dropping.
