Yikes! Just heard about the people who were killed. Glad you guys are OK, if a little banged up. I'm with you on not being comfortable with so many people so close--that's just a recipe for a bad crash IMHO.

I am sure I will have gazillion relatives call me and tell me it is time to quit riding.


I really like the comments:

It's hard to drive when your looking at your phone.

""The 20-year-old motorist involved in the crash ...""
Any bets that they were texting while driving? Any?

Arrrrgh - yet again a car does the action, rather than a driver.... I wish reporters would start telling it like it really is.

I am glad you are okay except for being banged up and a few scratches. I also send my prayers to the families who lost a loved one. Thank G-d, there were not more. I am not sure not riding close in this ride would have made a difference.

I am with you also, I dislike riding close in the big rides. I love riding in the MS150. There over 3000 riders in that. I tend to stay all by myself whenever I can. Believe it or not, you can really do that! I didn't come in with the rest of my team, but I sure had a more comfortable ride. And I finished both 75 miles days with no sag wagon.

Wow, sorry to hear about your biff, glad you and DH are mostly okay!

And yet another senseless tragedy, those poor people.

That was tragic Crankin, so glad you weren't there when it happened Very glad to hear you and DH are basically ok!

I've basically stopped riding in organized rides with large numbers of cyclists, I am just too used to riding by myself and I am always afraid that I will get into trouble because of that.
