    Thanks for the support and the suggestions. I'll let you know what the prez says (I haven't emailed him yet- I wanted to cool down first).

    The guy is not someone you can talk to. He is a very weird guy, just completely full of ego. I did tell him before we started riding that I had a knee injury, was taking it slow, and could not do significant hills. He obviously didn't care. When he heard I was hurt and angry, he offered to push me up one of the hills going back, and seemed angry at ME when I refused...but by that time the damage had been done, and I was honestly afraid of punching him if he got near me.

    Ace - that group leader was completely irresponsible. I'm sorry that you are suffering the consequences of his BS. I'm glad you will be e-mailing the prez. They need to know about these things. There won't be any more beginners if he keeps on like this.

    How are you feeling this morning????

    You did the right thing, he did the wrong thing.

    The "push you up the hill" comment gives a lot of insight into him.

    BUT, I also know it's hard to really manage and discipline 'volunteers'.

    I'm a real stickler for delivering what is advertised and you're fair in expecting that from them as well.
