What I have seen work well is for the ride manager to be the go between
hooking people up with someone to pace with on ride day. Face it, it's
scarey to just say "I'll take a newbie" when you haven't had a chance to
size them up, but I wouldn't be opposed to telling the manager, "I'm
taking it easy tomorrow and wouldn't mind helping somebody out". A good
ride manager can make a judgement call, then probably has a good idea who
of the experienced riders would be good examples and aren't planning on
racing the next day. Another possibility would be discussing it at the
new rider's meeting. If there are some experience riders who would be
interested in doing this, maybe we could bring that up in the education
committee.
