Ken's newbie pace was too fast for me the first time I went. It's still almost too fast for me, considering it's the first time in half a year and at night. Just take it easy and you'll be fine. I know I will be, if for no other reason than my wife will be threatening to puke in my car if I don't.

And yet I never exceed the posted speed limit. I try to set the pace to the slowest driver which is why you should have a PRS radio set to Channel 4 so that you can let me know if the pace is too fast or slow. It's that communications thing.

All of that is good, Ken but he may want to get a FRS radio

You do have a legit point there .... however, there will be several in the caravan, as first timers ...
Ken always takes the new folks over, after the dinner...
We meet up at the base, of the Dragon, & divide into groups ....( restroom break )
Then the Ol timers....take off .....
After a few minute lead...Ken takes the "Newbies" over..
Is that so the Newbies don't catch up with the Old Timers.

It is so we can get to the bathrooms quicker! Is it time to stop and pee yet?
