A "charity race" is something like a MS 150 or a cancer ride or the like. I have never been almost taken out so many times like in a charity ride. morons ride these things like there is a 6 figure prize at the end. I rode the MS 150 to cape cod and there was 4 major crashes. broken collar bone at mile 2. broken hip at mile 10. then 2 more pile ups. simply amazing.
last year i raced in a real charity race. they do exist. i got my @$$ handed to me. this one benefited the kids for the local libraries. https://www.lovellrec.com/lovelltour.html

What is a charity race?!! Why, they are the most competitive, vicious, bloody, and cruel form of bicycle gathering known in the US.

Geez I had no clue....I just signed up for MS150 here in AL. Work was promoting a team and I get a free jersey. I just thought it would be another summer group ride, is this not the case? Should I start training?

First, you wouldn't even know I was doing it. You'd probably think I was just drifting over after losing focus for a second or two. I think most judges would laugh you out of the court room for "assault with a hip".
Second, if/when you take someone out on a group ride and they die, what should their family lawyers press for in court? I'd go manslaughter for criminal, and then take everything you own in civil.
Third, as has been suggested before, lighten up, Francis.

Yelled at someone today. Briefly considered pushing him out of my way. Guy swerved... he was trying to answer his cell phone as I was overtaking him.

Law.
No judge or jury would convict a person for assault for putting a hand on your hip to protect a bunch of other people.
That's a sick twist on malicious compliance; you'd be protected by the law, and you'd be prosecuting a person who attempted to keep you from possibly hurting others.

Figured I'd stop by this thread again. Never gets old.
I have to say, even though the first post makes the OP sound maybe a little snarky and full of himself, I'm reading his book right now and it's definitely good. You can thank me for a few cents of your next royalty check.

There is a time and a place for a squirrel to learn; it is not on the weekly hammerfest at 30mph.
