In talking with our senior mechanic, Julio, he suggests that during this Memorial Day weekend you make sure to "take your time" while riding. All too often, we rush to try to get to where we are going on a ride. By taking your time, you not only enjoy the ride more fully by looking at the scenery and environment, you are quite a bit more aware of hazards or obstacles. This is is of particular importance in a group. Place children between adults, so they are shielded and "in the pocket" of the group of riders.
Also, consider the riding level of those in your group. You may have some strong riders and others not so. By taking your time, you help the group feel that they are able to perform to a similar level. No one gets left behind! Remember, there are more riders on the road, so take it nice and easy!
