The Rideout That Does Not Rush

A rideout does not have to be fast to be good. In mixed groups, the best days often come from a pace that lets everyone relax and ride properly.

That means clear stops, sensible gaps, no pressure on newer riders, and no sulking from people who wanted a private race. The road is better when the group is not stretched to breaking point.

If everyone gets home wanting to do it again, the pace was right.
