As it turned out, they really couldn't maintain a 15 mph pace. They were

Right now I'm leading a 16-17 mph avg pace and I have to wait for
straglers. But the club rules also state that come prepared with a fit
bicycle. If the rider or ride is not fit that ride lead can ask they
consider a slower ride until they et things in order. In a few weeks
the pace will pick up and I won't have to wait for stranglers. I
generally do anyway but I warn them.

I'm sorry Neil, you seem like a nice guy and all. But if you have
*stranglers* on your club rides, I won't be showing up anytime soon.


It's not that big a deal, Dane. They usually choke under pressure....

Well, it's good to know I wouldn't be gasping for breath to keep up.
Of course it would help if the rest of them throttle themselves a
little.
