We usually will break larger groups into smaller groups.
12 people into four groups of three each with a group leader.
During a ride, you'll kinda know who is the fast rider and who is the slow rider. Everyone else filters in between.
If we have "unknowns" in the group it's an automatic signal that this isn't going to be a speed run. The ride immediately drops about 25% in intensity just to keep everyone together, safe, and relaxed.
Rides become boring, tedius, and lame when you have to stand around waiting for the ambulance to arrive and then later for the wrecker.
Now you haven't ridden until you are working to catch Barker backing it into corners in the rain whiffing your own processed burrito platter.
