firebird77clone Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I've come to avoid group rides. Bunch of rubs with little saddle time, and no experience riding in groups, add cages that don't feel they need wait for the group to pass; just try to push through- plus the group doesn't allow for the cages: they somehow feel the rule of the road no longer applies to them, just because they are in a group event... I do miss my former riding club, we rode close, and you knew each others abilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
