When I lived in a town large enough to have a weekly group ride, it was 'no drop.' There was a general understanding of the typical speed, but everyone rode at their preferred pace with several designated stops at which we'd wait for all riders. Those who got to those stops first would sometimes circle back to regroup with the slower riders in order to keep the legs moving.

Note that this was the rural midwestern US, where rural roads are laid out on grids -- so we would tend to regroup at the few turns in a loop -- and in-between turns, it was pretty hard to get lost.
