Well, I normally ride alone or with 1 or 2 other riders, who are about equally good.
We've never been more than 10 riders, there aren't 10 OK riders around. We dont take beginners/small kids with us out on a street ride, since we want to ride the big stuff and actually talk.
Me and Johan Brundin are helping the newbies once a week, on a naturals practice thing organized by the club. Well, help them if we can be arsed to, normally we just ride most of the time...
