Gonna sign up for a 100 mile sportive in April with a couple of mates. 75 mile route also available, missing out a 25 mile loop from the ton. Having done sportives before, always found myself going slower than I could do so as to not leave my friend/s alone, which does get a bit frustrating. So should I a) say its every man for himself and we all go at own pace b) go at his pace, which often involves me dawdling so as not to leave him behind c) go at his pace for 50miles then my pace for second half (i.e. on my own) or d) suggest he does the 75mile route, I do 100 and we meet at the end (although he'll be done an hour or so before me). Any help/tales of similar experiences will be appreciated.
