Sadly it’s something we see on a lot of club rides, I even had to have a private word with one of our members a couple of weeks ago for crossing the line on a blind bend with a car coming the other way not only dangering himself but other club members.
I think generally we ride OK, but we’ve also have had luck on our side so far. A tragic lesson was learnt in Cardiff a few months ago with one rider killed for riding two wide and hitting a van.
Club rides should be enjoyable and safe for all. Tightening our riding should only increase our ability and eventually become second nature.
Perhaps one Sunday we should aim somewhere flat or even the outdoor track in Carmarthen (with Nick?) to practice group riding and honing our skills.
Anyway…
