We had a nice ride despite the heat. Kept it short @45 miles and only a couple thousand feet of up. 12 of us rode over the hills to Beverly Hills for a snack, then some steep climbs back over. At the top of the canyon there is weird intersection and one guy started to go when he shouldn't have and another guy yelled "stop". He stopped and started yelling at the other guy. Nobody knew him so we didn't know what to expect.
This got ridiculous. The one guy said he was just trying to protect the new guy and the new guy said he yelled too loud or something. F-bombs were dropped and it got more heated and it went on and on. A couple of us asked them to stop, no dice. Finally I yelled "please" . Anyway we dropped the guy on the next climbs but he caught up later at a light, then went off on his own. The bad thing was we lost another guy who was hurting a bit. Also a new guy, we wondered if he knew his way back.
Never a dull moment.
