I am still not really comfortable drinking from a bottle and I have a lot of difficulty signaling with my right hand. I tend to drink at stop signs, lights, etc. or wait for a straight flat stretch. This is after 11 years
. Hey, I know my limitations, and while I have improved a lot, I'd rather not crash while working on these skills. My DH can't understand why I can't lift my right hand off the bar, but have no issue with my left; it has to do with spatial awareness and balance. Usually, by the end of a ride, when i'm "in the groove," it improves and I have less issues.
I'm a ride leader and I'm able to get by quite nicely. I don't ride with aggressive groups when I do ride with groups. I also find that when I am in a group, my need for following safety rules overrules my coordination, and I can point out hazards with no problems.
