@JimTjr: Thanks for your comment, go for the MS ride. I'm training for one they have in New Jersey this September.

@DnvrFox: You re right, it was a really nice ride. This is my first year doing something like this, I simply didn't expect to be dropped is all.

@BluesDawg: There was not too much conversation prior the the ride, we didn't find the meeting place as soon as we should have. The directions to the ride I thought we were going on had a meeting place that was no longer in business, we got lucky when someone told us where the club meets. Yes, I thought it was understood that it was a no drop C ride. There is no contact numbers or email addresses on the clubs website. We mentioned that to the ride leader who said she will bring that up at the next meeting they have.

@Bruce19: Like I mentioned in my OP the team (club) I belong to has a "no drop" policy. This is what I had expected.

@Kenji666: Just inconsiderate people I guess.

Bottom line, we need to take the responsibility, cut the time too close and did not make sure it was a "no drop ride". You live and learn!
I really want to go back out in that area again, the ride was one of the most beautiful rides I've ever been on.
