The first group ride i did was the wellington CC ride. it wasnt a problem and if you car concerned at all do what my flatmate did and just rode one back from me. it is not too hard and if you want it to happen it will.

Well, thanks for the invitation to join you but no thanks, I don’t like the idea of being split up, even though I completely understand why you do it for safety, ability etc. I feel it belittles and stifles confidence in the ability to improve.
However. That is just my humble opinion, and like you, I too don’t want to get into a slanging match, I respect your decisions, as I’ m sure you respect mine, which is to ride with no affiliations to any group.

I think along the way, I going to end up group riding anyway, which is just fine in fact I’m looking forward to it.

a save trip to you, and all.

I do not want to offend you but when you are the organizer of a ride you have to question the ability of the people you have along. If one rider gets in to somthin they can't handle it can be disastrous. I have worked with this crew organizing rides for a few years and I know, from experience that as an organizer you need to know. We will never win cos people growl about the fact that they couldn’t ride and others about the fact that they got in too deep and couldn’t cope. Lets, let this go and just get tomorrow out of the way. Welcome along and I don’t think anyone is attacking you personally. We react to things not as they are but as we are and in that we lose the perspective of things going on around us.

Cheers and I hope you decide to ride with us tomorrow. Ride safe.
