Many of the idiots I'm chasing on the Tu/Th/Sa group ride have or have had a coach. I think they spend time up front face to face setting goals and what not and then much is done via eMail.
edit - Please note that my frequent reference to the cyclist I'm trying to keep up with as "idiot" or "nazi" is not intended as any sort of slight, nor is it directed at the 33. In my view all cyclists are idiots and the faster ones have a tendency to become nazis (they also remain idiots.. it's like dual citizenship).
