Went out with a group yesterday for breakfast at The Original Cottage. Food was excellent and the portions were too big....I was sweep and this group doesn't have a clue about keeping a group together. If i wasn't there they would have just left this one guy behind.

These type of rides happen at times, I guess after watching the video you are talking about the Harley rider in front of you and him not keeping up with the group. When you are the sweeper this can happen, what you needed was two sweepers that ride slower. At the first stop I would have made a change and Mr. Slow Rider could take your place, but someone else needs to volunteer to ride with him, or divide into two groups. Plus it looks like a Harley ride, what did you expect, nothing wrong with breaking away from the group unless your riding buddy is a slower rider then you. Next time you will ask how the group will ride, then make your decision before you start. I'm a dual sport bike rider so 5 min. behind a Harley would do it for me, I don't care for the loud pipes. Beautiful ride, great pics, work on your singing, and get a girlfriend. Please show us that ride route you took on a map, thanks.

I don't have a problem following a slower rider. Its just this certain group doesn't keep an eye in the mirror for the person behind them and have no clue how far ahead they leave a slower rider. A few did come back that day but its rare when that happens.The leaders are very un-organized but i've been helping one of them with things. I went on a ride yesterday with my normal group and when you see the video you will notice a totally different scenario. They are very organized,each person is responsible for the person behind them and we have a great time with no issues. Yes my singing sucks but i got the girlfriend thing covered.:mrgreen: .....http://flic.kr/p/iPJJQd
