Title: Being the sweeper on group rides
Post by: Phil B on February 20, 2012, 10:54:54 AM
This photo points out the importance of ATGATT.
This is never more important than when you are in a group ride, and you are in the "sweeper" position.
Dont let your group down: make sure you have the right gear for the job!!!

I thought this was a photoshop but then I saw the shadow. What is the context here? It looks like mullholland drive, is he sweeping up the twisties?

Got it in one.

They WERE a little dusty that day...
but come to think of it, cleaner than the last time i was up there. Vastly improved.
But maybe he's a perfectionist... and was on "Operation Clean Sweep"

 :embarrassed:

I'll take a push broom with me when I go long board a high speed hill just in case there are any corners I need to clean a bit before riding.  But I don't ride with the broom, it stays in the car lol.
