Also, do not just hang in the pack or on the end of the ride. Ride out in front so you don't have to worry about other peoples ride handling skills. You will go just as fast and have good sight lines and it is much safer up front. This goes with any ride of any speed, even if you know the other riders.

Most importantly, have fun!
