I sure hope it works that way for me.

Hey let me ask an etiquette question. I will be riding with a friend of mine who is a bit slower. If I feel like I can make the 62 miles but she feels she needs to change over to the 50 mile route how should that be handled? We are planning on riding the 62 miles together. We aren't close friends but we do ride together occassionally during the week. We really haven't discussed what we would do if we feel like one can make it and the other can't. Is there some type of protocol? Should we stick together or is it okay to split up?
