I should have done the BBC ride yesterday or just stuck with my regular buds. Instead I did the club ride out of Mt. Washington that was a complete clusterfluck on so many levels.....

Had at least 30 riders, maybe 40

"leaderless" ride even though most agreed on the route beforehand, some folks did not know the route and took wrong turns at the front.

several riders along who had no idea where they were and did not have a 'buddy' on the ride

one guy had two flats. Pack could not decide to wait or keep going. Half waited, half went back to check on the guy. We ended up waiting 20 minutes and then left on our own.

got my arse handed to me on the windy flats along Wiseburg Rd. and Rt. 23 and again got dropped on Old York. But, that worked out for the best as there was a crash in the pack which taco'ed a wheel so bad the rider had to get driven home in a car (wait another 15 minutes).

Got dropped for the last time up Providence road out of Loch Raven.... I was so sore after the ride I could barely walk...!
