We had a fun brisk ride. We did get pulled over by an angry police officer who chewed us out. He gave us a stern lecture about how we should ride no more than two abreast and told us we were 3 or 4 abreast. Threatened to give everyone in the group a ticket if we do it again.

Truth is, we really were riding 2 abreast, but since the riders were staggered I can understand how he saw us as not riding 2 abreast.

Rather than explain the intricacies of perspective, I said we are sorry and we collectively took it. But the guy was angry and kinda wrong. He also passed us on a blind curve in a fairly unsafe manner. No point in arguing with an angry officer, though.
