And don't forget the basics of group riding:
1. Ride staggered and allow a safe following distance.
2. Let faster riders pass you if you're holding them up (pet peeve of mine).
3. You're the link between the leader and the guy immedietely behind you. If you think he (the follower) went down or is gonna lose the group, slow down and wait for him. The guy in front of you will slow down in turn.
4. Ride your own ride. Don't go in over your head trying to keep up with a faster guy - this is the primary reason guys go down in my experience.
