When paceline pullers don't point out road hazards...

Zoom-zoom, so glad your not seriously injured, Geez you really could of ended up with a serious long term injury. (Not to minimize the pain and discomfort of road rash)
How did your wrist manage the fall? Hopefully it didn't get re injured.
That "ride leader" sounds like a bully. Is there anyone higher up that you could talk to and explain your concerns regarding her behaviour and comments and how inappropriate it is?
Not sure if the USA has the same pink movement. In Canada pink shirts are worn as a anti-bullying statement.
You should start up your own "pink" ride

Wrist was good, thankfully. I fell on the other side, but most of what suffered damage were shoulder, hip, and lower leg/knee. It happened too fast to do the sort of hand-out to stop myself that nets riders wrist injuries.

The ride leader isn't the bully...the bully was the one who happened to be pulling. Unfortunately the ride leader is a friend of hers (and I think probably too scared to make waves with that little Napoleon Complex woman). Now she is even covering for the woman. It defies reason.
