Doesn't your ride leader have their pump clipped to the downtube ready to put through the spokes of anyone who dares overtake them?Shouting "tosser!" at them repeatedly as they race off also has a similar effect....
I understand that through-and-off is a style of paceline riding, if that was the problem with the phrase. (Why do I feel like I should now ask if the nickname "Gazza" is a reference to an opera?)Was that a reply to me? I have no idea what you mean
Or there are entirely different sorts of less bigoted clubs that don't expect you "to ride a road bike properly" Pogo around on your full-sus MTB (I've seen that on a group ride) if you like. Set off a flashing speed number sign on a recumbent (that too). Ride backwards sat on the handlebars of a hybrid (not yet). As long as you don't crash into anyone else in the group, freewheelers won't care. Just have fun!I am sure club rides are not for everyone, however if you have any aspirations to ride a road bike properly give it a try, most clubs now have rides of differing average speeds that will suit plodders to racing snakes.
