Since the original post, I have ridden on a few of their rides. They seem like a good group with a few people who are out of control at both ends. Some who are not safe and some who are so safe they make others not safe. The extremes at both ends can be bad. Most of the people where cool. I did ride with the remnants of the group ride that was canceled. They seemed fine, were all good riders, and seemed to be very safe. They called out everything and stopped when they needed etc. They were a good group of guys who seemed they just wanted to ride and have fun. I could never get anyone there to confirm the police were called. They had heard that but did not know. They did not care if they were. Some were members of the local club and others were not. Those who were felt that the club was good but had a few who were over the top with the issue. They said for the most part the offending parties were all about themselves and preached too much.
I did ride with a few members of the race team. Strong riders who did preach safety but even they broke their safety rules. As few of them did confirm that, they had one person who called the cops on the group because they were unsafe. They said he was proud he called and told others he did. I think Rex G said it best in an above post: “such calls placed against members of one's own group or club is an unhealthy form of social interaction, akin to cannibalism.”
Over all I would say it is a decent group who cares about safety but have a few nuts at both extremes. Both can be dangerous. I almost want to join the club just for the entertainment.
One of the Saturday riders was hilarious and this is not a shop at the police. He said the club should organize the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Department Donut Ride. Entry fee could be a dozen donuts to support the men in blue. They could print shirts that say, “When it comes to cycling safety at intersections, we put our foot down. (And we’ll fine you if you don’t).”
