Some really good advice here and I'd just reiterate that as the ride leader, if you have posted the route, pace, etc. you should follow that itinerary. On our club rides, we often have 2 groups, even completely different rides leaving from the same location at or near the same time. Bring maps and cue sheets, and go over etiquette and safety concerns before the ride. Many of the maps handed out at our club rides show alternate routes and opportunities for extra mileage.
If someone rode in an unsafe manner, jeopardizing the safety of others in one of my groups, I would just fall back(well, I'm already at the back, so that would be easy!) and let them go on by themselves or exclude them from future rides.
Good Luck!
