March 6 Rides

[HillSlugger]

Might be useful just to post a message to the group ride members in friendly tone, Hi there, I missed some of you folks...kind of tone. Hope to see you on next ride...etc. Then mention 1-2 enjoyable things you saw that you wished to share with another rider if someone was around at that time.

Does this happen often to you with this group? If it's a one-off, then keep it low-key.

This was the first time I rode with them. I don't know if this has ever happened before to anyone else. I don't know if this was a "sanctioned Group ride". There wasn't really anyone in charge. We had been discussing an anticipated average speed and my riding was so bad that I didn't end up in that range. I (childishly?) feel like I'm owed an apology but I don't really want to get anyone in trouble.

I think the true bottom line is how to we keep this from happening again to that newbie who might not be able to fend for themselves? Should I take this directly to the club president?
