I agree that we should just leave the recovery ride the way it has been ridden. We have the Saturday ride so we can all go at the pace we perfer and the Sunday ride is a day to take it a little easier and the social aspect is something a lot of us enjoy. I suggest we stick with the quickie break at the marina unlike this Sunday but some may have wanted to get back before the rain really came down which is understandable. It will be nice to have Kim back because he does a great job at keeping the group together. Logan and Ed, if you guys don't like the pace than leave a few minutes before we leave and if you want you can meet up with the group than do so :) I think the current format will welcome more riders and not discourage those that can't keep up with the few at the front. Thanks!!
