"Group ride from hell" update

Alright, I have an update on this and wanted to pass it along. Those of you who do not remember I was involved in a crash in a pace line a week ago today in which things got nasty, etc. I said that I woulld try and talk to a person at the ride who was posting stuff online about me being a "danger to all cyclist" crap.

Well today I went to go show a few friends my new frame before work and I saw this individual coming back from the ride. I showed a few guys who rode with him the frame, chatted a little and then went in to eat when this individual was at a table. Things did not go very plesent. Lets just say he called me some choice words, said I was an iodit for not owning up and talking full responsibility, blah blah blah. Things ended with I and a few other cyclists never will ride with you again. My response is I would turn around and ride 50 miles the other direction to not ride near you.

This all started with the thread on this forum. All I can say is I will never ride with that group again. It is a shame because about 15 on the riders I am good friends with, but 2 or 3 ruin it. May I remind you that this person was never at the ride in question in the first place. I have no problem with enjoying the company and even riding with the other 13 cyclists, but if this one shows up then it is off on a solo training ride... it is too bad.

Well it is over and I am relieved. I did 3 group rides this weekend with no incidents, even pulling part of the time a 32+ MPH paceline... hmmm!

Just wanted to let everyone know.
