Should group ride organisers post rides in terms of watts not watts per kilo?

Hi Adrian,
The best way to describe the effort or pace of group rides comes up here fairly regularly. Here is an interesting thread from last summer:

Use Watts instead of W/kg to categorize group rides?

Hi, as a lighter D cat recreational rider (60kg, 132 Watts - 2.2 W/kg) I usually struggle to keep up in group rides, even if they are ones I should in theory be able to keep up with - for a 1.5-2 W/kg ride I usually have to ride at around 2.5 W/kg or higher, so can only keep up for part of the ride,…

I personally find that when leaders use speed on flats in the description it gives me the best sense of effort I will have to expend without worrying over the size of the leader.
