I think the unfortunate lure of such a ride is to encourage the exact type of riding your post is against. I think there is enough of us here who can "ride fast and not be an *******" (thanks somnambulant) that if last weeks situation occurs again, you can just let the offenders break away and do that kind of stuff on their own.
