What Dogmama said.

I am dependent on caffeine and I hadn't had any on a very early group ride... I still had a car then... I get the bike out, put the wheel on and we try to ride off only... I put it on with the derailleur on the wrong side. No amount of "No! Don't wait for me!" would be heard so the all got to watch (at least it was a quick release and short-lived... and... it was funny... them's what don't like me can leave me alone.)

Don't feel like you should start behind everybody if there's a break, especially if you *are* the slowest one there. They'll be able to work on around you.

Friend of mine lives in Easley, name of Clyde. If you see him, say howdy from Sioux in Illinois
