However, I did use a 2Bliss ready rim strip. All we had that was the correct width.

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.

Maybe the faster groups would behave better, but it seems simpler to just ride solo.

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).
