I like the B group the way it is 16-17 pace. It is a good Saturday morning ride. I try to ride faster during the week which is also an option and enjoy the slower pace on Sats.

I'm glad there were no complaints on the speed, although, I'd love to hear offline from some folks that may have felt that it was a little bit difficult to keep up - if there were any such folks. While I do not want to ruin anyone's fun, I am a little concerned about the average speed. I'm pretty sure y'all would have dropped me at that pace, and I have no intentions of putting in the time and effort to post rides each week only to be dropped or have my tongue hanging out trying to hold onto the group! Also I'm fairly certain there are some true B riders out there who are reading this and are growing concerned over whether they should continue to show up for this ride. While I don't consider this 'MY' ride, I do consider this a group B ride and our goal is to average between 16-17 mph. I'd really hate to see people dropping off from this ride because they are worried about keeping up. So....we can do one of two things.... 1) We can all show up to ride together, use the same route that I post and just have the faster group pull out a few minutes ahead of the slower group. Then, if anyone wants to start out with the faster group, they will know there is a group coming up behind them if they are unable to maintain the faster speed for the entire ride. If we choose this option, I would really appreciate it if someone would step up and take the lead of this B+ group. 2) The faster folks can opt to go out with the A- riders and we will keep the B group as it always has been at 16-17 mph avg.
