RE: [RC] [RC] Newbie Questions - heidiIf that is not possible find a ride that has a controlled start, you'll have to contact the ride manager and ask if the ride has one or not. A contolled start is where the ride manager picks someone to lead the riders out on the trail at a walk then picks up to a light jog to a certian point, and then everyone is free to exceed that pace if they choose. Durring the controlled start you can usually find a rider that is riding your desired pace and ask if it is ok to ride with them. You can also solicite for a riding mentor prior to the ride - or even ask for a mentor at the pre-ride meeting. I've found that everyone is very eager to help out!! Additionally, no matter what kind of start, you can check in and then leave 10 minutes late--and odds are you will find someone else leaving slowly, too.
