A sample script which you may have already used in some form:
We understand you have a bike so you can go at the same pace but that is not the issue it is the way you handle your bike. You are putting everyone in this group at risk and we need you to follow these simple rules and practice your bike handling skills or we cannot have you riding with us. We have this ride labeled as such because it is for more advanced bike handlers who can also go at this pace but also hold a line and not cause unsafe situations. If you would like to come on this next ride we ask that you sit at the back and observe how things are done if you are unable to do that you might find others to ride with as we cannot put ourselves at risk because of you. We all have families and friends and we would like to make it back to them we ride in a manner that requires a good bit of skill to stay tight without potentially causing crashes and without those skills you are making it harder for us to make it back safely.
