I have been thinking about it because I get lots of stories.
I suspect that one solution is to set a pace for the first hour of the ride and if people are unhappy with it a third of the ride should split off to go faster or slower. But that means deciding that the bike goal is more important than the social goal, or, in other words, that it's impossible to herd more than 5 cats on bikes at a time.
Otherwise the bike trip will always be slower than the fastest people want it to be. There's no way to get around it.
I don't know how this plan works with navigation and bike knowledge, though.
