wow pdedse, that sounds like a heck of a trip. Once in a lifetime kind of thing. Yea travelling at different speeds is an issue, and I must say, having ridden with guys who will "wait for me" at the next whatever, not one I am very fond of.
My buddy above, went on one trip with another buddy of his that rides like a road racer all the time. He came back so exasperated from the experience, trying to keep up all the time, getting left behind, and feeling like he was "on his own", he actually sold his bike immediately after getting back and quit riding (for awhile).
Everyone should ride their own ride, but in a group (of 2 even) sometimes compromises must be made for the slowest member of the group IMO.
