Yikes Violara, I'm with you 100%.
I'm often the weak link when I ride with my friends in the hill country, but if it's a "ride with friends" then we stick together. There've even been a couple of times (days when I was feeling extra sore for whatever reason) that I've told them to go on ahead, I knew my way back, and they refused.
Or, there's one other couple that I ride with, I'm pretty well matched with the husband but on any given day one of us could be feeling much stronger than the other; and the wife is not nearly as strong; but again we stick together. Whoever's feeling strong might go as far as two or three hills ahead, but if it gets over a half a mile or so, we wait.
