Yes. We have been trying to arrange a slower/beginner group for the last 2/3 years. So from now on we will run 2 groups. If it’s just a slower group we will do the same course, if there are beginners then we might ride a different shorter route.
I won’t be able to turn up every Tuesday and Thursday so if there are any offers of help! We might be able to set up a rota if it takes off.
Just an idea, is it worth advertising a beginners ride for the first Sunday of each month and then splitting other rides as numbers dictate?
On one club ride we had at least two groups turn up who rode as one then split into individuals at hills and regrouped. My personal feeling is any more than 12/14 per group on our narrow/hilly/twisting roads is a little unsafe.
