Each ride was more than likely an individual, better safe than sorry. I call out to alert others of my presence for
my own safety. It's the one time you don't call out, the other rider drifts into you or is startled poopless, then they get upset!

Remember, you are on an organized ride and it aint their fault you are tired. IF you want to ride alone, don't join the event.

How much did you pay to join? Some of the small rides out here can be lacking in the deco dept. Usually the $100 events are much better, I think they pay for spectators to clap for you when you cross the line!

Again, how much did you pay? The bigger more expensive rides include a post ride meal or BBQ at the end.
