That is concerning. Wonder if there are hybrid groups?

I get about 50% waves on my local MUP and about 1% if I ride a trail in Dallas.

Sounds like great advice. I find it hard to find someone that rides the exact speeds I like to go. When I go to the bigger MUPs, I just find a random rider that is doing my same speed and pace with them. Hopefully that's not too creepy
