It has been mentioned that some pactracers may be put off joining the group rides as they feel they are too slow, or too fast for them. Recently, I created some guidance around this by creating groups so that members of similar ability can get together and all join in on the same published route.
We have defined 3 groups (Devils, Inters, Alphas), and set out some advice so that you can all determine which group you would ride in normally. Please note: this may change depending on the time of year, level of training, taper, recovery etc, so it it is a guide, not a rule.
It seems as though some may have missed this communication, so i'll post it again here, and on the forum:The link below is posted on the pactrac website under About>Training Guidance.

The intention is that when a ride is suggested or posted, come forward and indicate which group you would like to ride in - I advise doing that even if you are only a 'maybe' for the ride. That will encourage others of similar ability to come forward also - this gets more people turning up, and bigger grous are more social, more efficient, and will make you a better rider.
If anyone needs any further information or advice on this, please reach out to any of the coaching team.
