In that case fair enough, sounds like he got the wrong group. I'd still be uber-friendly with him though in case he decides cycling isn't for him
Now I think about it we started a small cycling 'club' a couple of years ago on my estate - nothing serious, just a bunch of middle aged blokes who wanted to get a bit of exercise on a Sunday morning. It did get a little frustrating having to stop every mile or two to regroup, and there was never a good enough turnout to split out into two groups.
