You go off the road at least twice and you weren't close to being in over your head. I don't have to be there to understand that. Your inability to admit this fact is putting you into the category of riding like an asshat and you should be apologizing to the others in that group for being one. I have been guilty of being in over my head in the past, luckily it didn't affect others. There are plenty of people here who can help you with that problem and I would be glad to do so if you can get over yourself and ask for some riding tips. The next two rides for that group I have conflicting plans for but I will make it to one of them before summer is over.

No way! You went off prior and didn't have the sense to slow down and ride inside your abilities? Hands down you were riding over your head and I can only hope you learned from it. Testing your riding abilities on group rides is not a good idea and it ruins the ride for everyone else. I understand things can happen and anyone can go down but if you were going off the road earlier you were in over your head. The group might have needed a few more experienced riders to police people who needed help. You shouldn't have been allowed to ride like that if you didn't have the sense to slow yourself down.

You need to get yourself and adult adviser in these matters. I don't qualify.

I thought others were claiming the last spot, more not adding up. 4 MPH doesn't put you in the field but if you jumped off that makes sense because anything could happen. I was assuming you might have been riding over your head because others made it through the corner without going down. If you are riding within your skill set you can usually avoid gravel putting you down because you can slow down to avoid it. A sure sign you are riding over your head is that you are going over the yellow line. I guess we will never know if that was happening unless the bike in front of you saw you doing it because no one was behind you.

Okay, even start with me in front. I don't think I could pass you. You can use all the gears you want and both brakes.

I wasn't there so help me out, you were riding up front and the gravel snuck up on you or there were other people in front of you that made it through the same dirty corner.

I am having a hard time figuring out how gravel sends you out into a field. I would expect gravel to put you down on the spot. Could it have been more bad decisions than road conditions?

For The People!

Final offer four minutes.

Let's just call it even boss.

My first new street bike was a 1981 GS750E. I bought it from Chadema's (SP.) House of Suzuki in 1982, I loved that bike. I did more stupid on that bike that anyone alive should have. Three minute head start.

Sometimes do you get black sheep born or are they all white?

What did I miss? Two minute head start.

You should give me your wife's number, I want to talk to her about sheep and be her friend too.

I want me some Chipotle. I won't use my rear brake and spot a minute head start.

Are you saying Lance was trying to date these women he was befriending?

What about me I want a chance at some Chipotle too. I only ride a 1000 not that big badass 1300. 536 is only 10 to 12 miles long, I won't shift out of first gear and we can negotiate a head start.

Hey MJ you should send me your number so we can get together and get these t-shirts rolling, I want to be your friend too.

Oh my God let me have a shot at the Chipotle. I never challenge anyone but these stakes are just too high. Let's do 536 or 255 and I won't shift out of 1st gear.

255 sucks, it is very dangerous and dirty all the time. If it were me I wouldn't lead a group ride on the road.

Just saying

If this is a required crash site maybe we should stock her freezer with popsicles.

Was there popsicles?
