Title: Riding with people much better than myself.
Post by: bombadillo on March 09, 2009, 11:36:55 AM
Man I went out riding the other day with some guys that were slower and some that were way faster and man I can't tell you how much you learn till you watch someone much faster than you on a "slower" bike ripping past you.  Although a few of them had a set of steel balls that I frankly don't have and don't want to leave my wife with nothing, it was quite a learning experience.  If the road didn't have so much sediment from melting the snow out there I probably would have taken it a bit harder but it sure was a blast.  We had some speed traps set up by the CHP and ended up getting one guy with a ticket but its only because the group split up for a while.  They usually just leave us alone riding 8-10 at a time.  Anyway, great ride and just thought i'd share.

CHP? Conneticut? If you're close to Mass and riding with guys from Born, or NESR, let me know!

most CHP references I've seen online were of "California Highway Patrol"  but could be Connecticut, Colorado, Chicago , ........................
