I never understood those comments until today.
I joined BCP when I started riding. This week, I got an email from them asking why I hadn't renewed my membership. I wrote back that part of the problem that in ANY group ride, the rider who is the last up the hill gets the least rest at the top. Right now, I'm a "D" pace rider but I have done "A" level distance on the flats -- and that's a hard combo for the rest of the world to accomodate.
Putting the "d" in randonneur...
