Mountains play hell with radio and cell phones, they just don't work in a lot of places.
MM does a lot of the ride planning, he passed out separate ride maps year before last but since he got a GPS on his handle bars we just keep up in sight of the rider in front of us. Make you a point of carrying a NC state map, as sometimes you might could need it.
We string out in order of ride speed, so the slowest guy can generally see the one in front of him. When we stop, the clot of bikes is right noticeable.
Now, there was one of us that used to get humorous sometimes and just take off and leave everybody behind. He used to wait at the next intersection like a civilized person, then he got all funny minded and you'd see him go off fast, then he'd disappear and you wouldn't see him again, until you looked at the last guy in the run line and it was him, jest a sitting there grinning at you.

We only flat lost somebody once, and that was because we didn't count the riders before pulling out and left somebody sitting in the head. We don't do that any more, we count the helmets before leaving.
