I'm probably not the only rider with this conflict but Tuesdays and Thursdays are generally swim nights. If riders are giving up a Tuesday swim then they probably won't want to give up a Thursday night as well as it is open water in the summer. So perhaps Friday? Some other ideas include: 1) TT (time trials) for Friday nights or 2) a couple of experienced riders taking turns on Wednesday nights to do some sprints with the other group 3) Lastly, some Wed night riders could easily ride on Tuesday nights knowing that they will be dropped but at least they will be dropped as a small group and not riding alone Hopefully, we will always have new members from the community and for some it will just be a matter of experience to get them to move into the other group but others may not want to move up and we have to respect that. Just some thoughts.

Here's my two cents worth. I too feel for the recreational riders that may feel they are not a part of the "group" as they either do not wish to ride flat out or they currently lack the ability to ride longer and faster. Some do not have road bikes and nor can they afford a $3K bike, BUT encouragement is what they need. Perhaps we, the intermediate riders, should offer to take turns to ride with an encourage the newer riders. Yes, on that night, we won't get a 'work out' as usual. but I'm sure the newer and slower riders would appreciate the gesture. Having said that, I don't seem to read comments by the recreational group. THEIR input is what we need to see. Are they even on the mailing list ? More comments? Geoff. ----- Original Message ----- From: James Lively To: 'Chatham-Kent Commmunity Cycling Group' Sent: Tuesday, August 17, 2010 9:28 AM Subject: Re: [CKcycle] Intermediate Cycling Night My thoughts too, Dan! And don't forget many recreational riders don't necessarily want to go faster or further, although over time these will naturally occur. They just want to go for a leisurely group ride. From a personal point of view, when school restarts in Sept, Weds nights become a "three places at once" issue for me.

we had 2 new riders last week and almost lost one due to the sprints. we did do two sprints on the way to prairie siding bridge. with the comments made we adjusted the pace to accommodate our new riders. this doesn't mean we are not going to do sprints, just discuss the purpose and goals. maybe having better communication to start the ride next time we won't leave anyone with the feeling of not fitting in. knowing who will be riding at the slower pace we can try to explain our goals and establish the basics so they will feel comfortable. it wasn't long ago that i found 21 a comfortable pace. so i remember how it felt to hold the group back. as a result i didn't ride as often last year. i thank everyone for helping me to improve this year. i think the group dynamics is what makes the rides so enjoyable. it showed in the grand bend ride. we worked together to help each other making the ride more enjoyable for all. with the nights getting shorter, it is harder for us to travel the same route. getting back safely is a priority for us. as the rides get shorter there will be less chance for those dropped to join in with the later group. we will have challenges with 2 or 3 levels of riders. trying to find a happy median for the benefit of the group will require us to work together. hope i didn't ramble too much, just some thoughts in between customers.. :) have a great day all!

This sounds better to me as long as people know what group they are riding in so no one gets ' put off ' because they are trying to ride with the wrong group. As for me, Thursday night is out as it's cruise night at A&W, Tuesday is good IF I'm not looking after the grandson.
