There was much yelling at people to call “clear” at intersections today, until another one of us old crumbs called it with a car approaching. It sort of petered out after that. My own situational awareness isn’t always what it should be and I prefer to tell people I’m going, rather than rendering a judgment or advice.

I think about quitting the club but it has been a big part of my life for 3 decades. It seems it will never be like it was, however.

I understand why a lot of people feel that way. In my case, I have been a member of this club for 32 years and did 100 group rides per year since 2001. Lots of people come and go and I've made some good friends along the way. Now, I'm not fast enough to do the A rides and the B riders rarely show up. Covid has really wiped out club attendance.
I think about quitting the club but it has been a big part of my life for 3 decades. It seems it will never be like it was, however.

Also just a general lack of common sense - like running bright flashing lights that dazzle the rider behind you.
A pre-ride brief would help, but I'm not the ride leader (and don't ever want to be).

We came to Boulder to visit my mother and ride bikes. You literally can’t see the mountains most of the time. Fsck me.
