For those who rode LRRH, what was your experience with riding behavior? I only did the 50 this year and I found things much mellower. Yes, still some clueless idiots that can't get the concept of riding on the RIGHT side of the road and only riding 2 abreast if it is safe to do so, but much less so than in previous years (didn't see any 7 abreast groups this year).

But on Facebook I read a lot of comments about very aggressive pacelines passing without warning, people pushed off the road, crashes, many riders blocking traffic, riding with iPods, etc. - generally very unsafe behavior all around. It's almost as if I rode a different event! Maybe the 50 mile route had just the right mix of riders, no total novices but no aggressive speed demons either. I don't know.

What did you observe this year?
