Just oblivious to all others.


But the riders who stop in the road are pretty annoying to.

Absolutely - I guess most of the people riding aren't people who generally ride their bikes in traffic so they somehow think... well... I don't know what they think but they most certainly don't think "if I don't look around me I might take someone out / get taken out!"

One guy, at about the 45k point realized his sticker had fallen off so he just stopped dead in his tracks, rolled back and picked it up causing everyone to swerve at which point a lady almost took out my buddy's dad that we were riding with. You ****ing dickhead, you don't need the ****ing sticker past the starting line... DICKHEAD!

All in all a fun ride - I'll post up some pics from the ride once my server goes back online...
