It's weird, now, to see a couple of groups (not that many, but still a couple) that have no regrouping spots and you're on your own as soon as you're dropped.
Dumb and misses the point of a group ride.
A+ ride here has no regroups but it’s basically a loop in the city, so getting dropped is no big deal. It’s also a very aggressive ride in terms of guys passing each other and things of that nature. All that being said, the riders are excellent and nice dudes. It’s just a no-nonsense, speed is king type of thing. If you are into that, it’s a lot of fun. For being so demanding, it is a rather popular ride and usually has at least 30-55 people.
