Don't worry too much about speed on these rides, CC Ecosse's motto is "nobody gets left behind". The CC rides are not like club runs with a set speed where you either hang on or get dropped... We are also not snobbish about road bikes vs. hybrids, as long as you are reasonably competent and happy to go at the pace of the slowest rider, you'll be most welcome (when we start the rides again ...)
Question to HLaB - I'm curious now: was that one of the official rides, or were you following one of the routes by yourself (at your own greyhound speed?
