Thanks for that @kefconstruction . That was good to hear. 
I always appreciate feedback, even if it's unfavourable during the ride. I can do something about it then, rather than only finding out after the ride.
Your buddies were pleasant enough but I found them hard to read. I didn't want to ask "how are you finding the ride?" in case they thought I was fishing for compliments. I tend to yell out to the group, "are we going fast enough, or is this about right?" Or something similar. But I'm really pleased that they felt welcomed.
When @skismith decides when he wants his guided ride, why not come along too?

Yes thanks! The freehub/cassette problem is still being debated by e13 and Sram. That happened on a Tuesday. I spent Wed looking for an alterbatuve wheel. But the LBS, Sherwood Pines Cycles, decided that the deabate could take a while, so they provided me with spare wheel free for the duration!
That allowed me to do the guided ride the following Sunday. That was last Sunday and I'm still riding the bike.
I just have to fix that gouge in the top tube now.

Yep, Sunday is usually the best day for @johnc and me. John and I were out today doing some more trail clearance, the usuul brambles and bracken, but a load of nettles this time too.
That bit of the trail that I abandoned on the ride, has now been cleared. But I can't guarantee that any of the trail we have cleared will be still clear in a fortnight's time. This weather is really forcing the growth.
