Default Why I Don't Do Group Rides.

This is why I just send a donation to the charity and don't ride with people I don't know.

I stay away from group rides also. All those people with more money that sense make me nervous. Also most are usually a bunch of dorks that I don't want to be around anyway.

Thats a fun time gone bad in a hurry. Looks to me they had already lost the bike when they came into view and took out the other couple. May they all heal and ride again. Without knowing what happen to cause the lost I will not make no call. Do understand your point of not riding the group rides...feel the same way myself.

Last group ride I went on people crashed a mile after the start. More people crashed later in the ride. Thats when I turned off and went my own way.

what does riding in a group make you have alot of money and why is that bad, so guys who do not have money don`t ride in charity rides, and the guys who do are dopes, man you need to get a life and prob a job

Oh, I'd guess the LEO and the other guy made direct eye contact with the other guy knowing exactly what the LEO's intentions were.
