Speeds listed are rolling averages. Expect slower and faster sections depending on topography and weather. Some riders may pick up the pace at points but the group tries to make sure that no one is dropped so long as everyone is able to maintain the advertised pace. If you are concerned about your ability to keep up, please let everyone know at the start so the ride leader and other riders will know to try to keep an eye on you.
