I replyed in defense of the experienced riders you were blaming and gave a little background about the accuser.

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.
First of all any choice words used, were about your actions. Get your facts straight.
On behalf of most of the riders that have ridden with you...Thank you, we will apreciate you not there.
It takes a huge ordeal and mess to get you to even admit partial responsibility. The fact is, you are dangerous to yourself most of all and to others as well. Its a pitty that you cannot see that. It will most likely lead to your demise in an act of pure ignorance.

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.
Thats is where you are wrong once again. Only 2 or 3 will say anything to you. The rest just talk behind your back. I didnt need to be on the ride with you. I have spoken to everyone that was there and they all had the same explanation of what happened. I think that outweighs your single skewed idea of what happened. Fortunately for you, they have not seen your posts about what happened.
Every single ride we have done together, you have done something dangerous, whether it be passing cars on the right with thier turn signals flashing, cutting in front of vehicles going twice your speed, or just not holding your line and interfering with traffic. (I could go on and on. These are not isolated incidents)

No incidents according to who? You? You have already proven that you can not be trusted with the facts. Your stories about your speeds and performance have never matched your actual speeds and performance. It was always entertaining to hear about how fast we went on the rides when our computers told a different story.
Good luck in your future.
