what's group like. are they able to ride in a pack / form a paceline?
It's a roundtrip. The full route map is on that site somewhere.
The pack breaks apart pretty quickly, so it's easy to find someone at the right skill level/speed/etc. Or you can just sprint off and do your own thing, which is what I often end up doing. There's all levels of riders, really. In my experience the majority have never done much group riding as I've had a few instances of someone slowing to a stop suddenly in front of me, or not pointing out a major road hazard. They DO like pointing out things like storm drains that are evenly spaced out along an entire street, but will miss something like a broken bottle.
But, at the same time, not everyone is quite so ********.
