I've been in that position before, when we reached the next stop, I let the guys know how stupid and reckless they were rideing, also reminded them that they are endangering the riders behind them. they were like so what, can't you ride? I let the road captn. know of their antics and they were "politely" told not to ride with that group anymore.

i would have left immediately but would have definitely reported to the rc so that these clowns never ride in the group again. get away for my own safety but then again, why should i suffer when these bozos need to be black balled. or just shoot'em....ride safe

I don't do group rides. Reports like this serve to remind me why!

Yup, I agree. When riding in a group, you have to be extremely cautious. One mistake can bring down a whole bunch of bikes. That's why I prefer to ride alone, or just with a couple of close buds, and then not in tight formation.
