I've basically given up riding with my club. It's not that anyone drops anyone else. It's just that they ride for 4-5 hrs. and I don't want to spend my day doing that. And, because I'm built more like an NFL running back than a TdF cyclist, I can crank out good speed on the flats and downhills but am slower than most on any climbs. So, I end up yo yo-ing with the group pace. That's no fun. Riding alone lets me ride my ride.
