Leslie, This is an excellent plan. The B group has become very ability and style diverse. Your proposal is a great solution to keep the maximum number of riders involved. Thanks for all your efforts and planning. Martha and I travel a lot so I'm not always around on Saturdays to participate, but you can count on me to help out when I am in town. I could do one of two things: I could probably hang on to the B+ group well enough to remind the group where the turns are located, or, if you or Diana want to go with the 18-19 mph group some Saturdays, I can also be happy riding with the 16-17 mph group and will be happy to print out the que sheets and provide directions either way. Let me know how I can help out. I will be here this Saturday, but then we'll be gone for the next two Saturdays. Back again on the 25th of September.
Thanks again for this creative solution to a challenging problem.
