As for flats, you were on your own for your first flat, and had better be able to deal with it. However friends would gladly help out if you were unlucky and had a second.

I would introduce that to one of my groups, but, there's a guy I can't out sprint and don't want to have to follow:-) Last time we left him in charge the route went something like:
Ridge Road to Skyline, Something or other (damned hard) Hill to Razorback Road, right at the radio towers, up to the Geo Survey Trig, then left.
