The D group may not form when turnout is small, and checking the CTC Facebook page can help coordinate. The ride uses a single paceline with rotating pulls. If you prefer not to take a pull, check for traffic and slide safely to the back on the left. When leading, hold the group’s agreed pace, and if you need to drop out, signal and do so safely.
