First Century, bad riders, blisters, etc.

Congrats on your century!!!

I was appalled at some of the bad rider etiquette I saw, but it was the same at the last few charity rides I've been on. I especially got annoyed at groups of riders in a bunch taking up the whole lane who wouldn't move over NO MATTER WHAT.

Yep, that's the primary reason why I don't do the big rides that attract a lot of people (charity rides and the like) anymore. Way too many people who have nary a clue. It's not worth the stress.

I'd just as soon donate to others' fundraising efforts, or volunteer my time.

For instance, snapdragen, BikerZ, aka_kim and I helped run a rest stop for the Waves to Wine MS ride this past weekend.
