It seems that some have had less than satisfactory experiences with their contact with the TRF. All I can say is that mine have mostly been superb.
There are runs that are planned to crack on at a reasonable pace to cover ground or get a little further afield and others are a more relaxed. The old(er) boys I ride with sometimes, still do many technical lanes but with more comfort breaks and instead of lunch being a pasty in a garage while fueling up, it'll be sat on a hill somewhere picturesque.
Be honest about your ability and what you want out of the day and don't be afraid to say that you're knackered and could do with a rest.
I know that I wouldn't have had any where near as many spectacular experiences if I'd just got a map and bumbled about on my own.
