We've got a club like that in my town. During my one and only ride with them, the pack took off like it was shot out of a cannon. I did ride with an older guy for a few miles. We were having a nice conversation, and then he said, "Well, I'm warmed up now." As he disappeared, I felt like I had been spit out the back like a watermelon seed.
When I asked if the club would hold rides other than hammerfests, I was told, "No one is interested." Which may be why the club has so few members.
