sounds like you had a good time. nothing better than getting out with some good friends and having a great time on the bike.

that is what I was thinking of saying too, always ride your own ride.

we've been riding with someone that is much faster than us, the first time we kinda tried to keep up (and he kinda slowed down). after that Tina said she didn't want to ride with him any more so I brought up to him that we weren't comfortable riding at those speeds on roads that are new to us and just the street (rural roads, lots of farm area) in general. he was understanding and told us he would wait at any turn he was going to make for us to catch up.
