[QUOTE="dcarver, post: 540973, member: 956"] Funny you mentioned that.. My first ride with the 'group', no one told me that after lunch at Shoshone the 'race' was on... I casually suited up, watched as FJR pilot after pilot left, then tried to 'catch up'... LOL, what an illusion that was! Evidently, the pack wanted to run at speeds higher than my norm.. which is cool - every rider at their own pace, eh? (practicing up for my Canuck ride) so all is good. My problem was, I was lost... no freaking clue where I was, so the 'pack' was very important.. and they were running at speeds above my limited comfort zones. So I backed off... I hope this doesn't sound harsh - or dissuade riders on this specific event - because the message is Universal - ride your own ride - know where you are, know where you need to be.. pretty simple, really. I may be at the front, I may be in the middle, I may be the last rider in because I rode the longest road, waited until sunset, saw the moon rise.... :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
