It feels like it'd abstractly work to have a long-and-fast group, a long-and-slow group, and a medium-length group...but now I've created the horrible social situation of turning an otherwise social bike group into having "A", "B", and "C" divisions. And if only 5 people turn out, you don't actually want to force the slow person into their own group, not only making them feel slow but also losing on the socialness.
I have been putting together cue sheets for the routes this year, and I want to be able to put together maps. The problem is that I know where I'm going because I've looked at it on a map, so I know that when the cue sheet says "1.1, Great Plain Ave; 0.1, L South St", it means that we go straight until we cross the Charles into Needham and then almost immediately turn left. But if you haven't tried to plan the route it's just a list of directions, and if you miss one, you're lost. Trying to come up with a map on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper that both captures the entire trip and has enough detail to be useful is also tricky.
