Arrow What’s up with these social club races?

I am cycling with a local cycling club and lately noticed that I enjoy it less and less.

The main reason is that every ride end up being a race and groups brake apart.

How do I get a group to stay together, race up the hill but regroup, pace line, help each other? This is a culture change question.

Long post but it reflects frustrations…

Join a different club with a different culture.

Or suggest that there be two bunches for the ride. Fast and not-so-fast.
