My experience riding is with the touring 1 and with the James’ Tuesday night group. These areusually the same groups with the same leaders week after week, so they would know that I have a bit of trouble on the climbs. When the group would to go at a pace between 23 and 26km/hr, I would catch up within a km or two. But, when the touring 1 group goes at a pace between 27 and 29 km/hr,catching up after a climb becomes almost impossible. I’m able to ride at this pace, according to the Tuesday night rides, but only to the next uphill. Asa result, the Sunday rides turn out to be solo rides.
Unfortunately, you can’t legislate 'group' riding practices. Nobody can make a tourleader wait for slower climbers or keep the group within posted range for a givenspeed category or allow riders in the group to warm up at the start of a ride (i.e. go at a more casual pace for that first 15 km).
