I much prefer having the entire group stick together until some set bail-out point. That way, everyone bikes together for a while at an intermediate speed, and then the less ambitious people can (1) turn around at the end of the Minuteman or (2) get onto the commuter rail. Mostly, I think that navigation can be pretty hard, especially if everyone in one group is lacking a bike computer (to tell when the turns are supposed to happen) and has never ridden the route before. I think our current bike group is pretty sociable and we can handle going a bit slower in order to suck more people into doing the activity.
