Thanks for him.

Husband was last in the peloton. This other guy had been warned by the ride leader at the beginning of the ride to stop zigzaging. Husband learned a lesson. He is no longer riding near cyclists that he has not seen in a ride and knows how this new one does in group. He will also keep a bit further behind if he has a choice. His group leader filed a formal complaints too but was replied that the 2 new guys were good cyclists! Heuh! They never saw them in the club before. And if you are used to a peloton, you don't zigzag or break for nothing. But 1st ride is also very touchy as everyone is not into the "feel" of a ride. He was also told that he will be "protected" by other members he knows so he can feel he rides safely. But for now, no club ride for a little while. He has to heal before.

I'm no fan of tight group rides. I guess you either like or not. I prefer to ride just the 2 of us, even if I don't go fast or tire more easily. I ride for fun, not speed.

They are even talking about cycling just a few of them, out of the club, since they ride well together and feel very comfy between us. It does not mean you'll never have an accident, but when you ride with people you trust, it makes a ride much more enjoyable.
