Craig will be interested in having your CTX700 in the group as it is one of the few new motorcycles offered with a true fuel economy engine. I wouldn't bother trying to carry the groceries. You can still ride.
.
I hope you are an experienced group rider because the group is run very tight and very fast. "The way we really ride" with no "tricky riding" such as pulse and glide or engine off coasting up to the stop sign. 10 mph over speed limit and 10 foot staggered groupings on narrow roads with bad shoulders. The same guys always seem to claim the front ( Fred, Vic) where you set your own spacing, while the newbies get relegated to the back where the group gets packed really tight when Craig tries to pass you to "tag" you out of the competition. If you get uncomfortable with that, just let him past and enjoy your ride behind him. Your result will say "failed to keep up" but you can tell us here how you did.

Don't bother trying to skew the results. Just fill up with 87 pump gas.
