Sucks big time. I don't do group rides anymore. If it's a cause I like, I just ride there, donate some money, and go home.

Flashing headlight was to blame. Terrible incident.

Sickening.... Not sure about the first wreck but the second sounded like a perfect storm of a confused elderly man, a negligent (texting?) driver and a REALLY unlucky pack of motorcycles.

Be careful, y'all, and get your affairs in order....

not a good read in the morning. Prayers to all. I'm with a few of you all on the modulating lights. They are deceiving and when you see them your first reaction is to slow down or in some cases even stop.

I'm no fan of flashing headlights but I would say it was the fault of the bitch in the silver car.

I'm not a fan of the modulators. They create too much uncertainty for people not accustomed to them.

Kinda, but not really. It was the dum *** that stopped. Maybe he's too old to drive.

The headlight caused confusion. The confusion caused the guy to slow, the chick ... well that about sums it up right there.
