But in any case, they are apparently somewhat faster than you. What would you like to happen?...that they all slow down for you? If not, then maybe it's just too frustrating for you to try to keep up with them all. Maybe you'll need to find a few riders of similar speed and style to yourself that you can ride with. Ask yourself- what is your goal?
maybe they're talking about kilometers? then it makes sense

If there's an agreement to not drop folks, they need to stand by their agreement. If they always drop you, you do need to find someone else to ride with. I realize that in most areas, you don't have that much choice. There are some guys I ride with who wait for the slower riders... but then what are the goals? are you training for racing, or is this their idea of a pleasurable ride?
