"I was just doing my job" I feel like I've heard that before.

Dude. Seriously. Do you complain this loudly about the elitism of fast food restaurants and their 'No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service' signs? It's a shirt, fer cripes sake. Were you raised by wolves or something?

Stay on topic, friend. There's plenty enough threadjacking going on here with Larry and his elitism.

Wolves don't crash, bro. When was the last time you saw a wolf with a surgically removed vertebrate due to a dumb accident?

If you showed up to a mountain bike ride shirtless, you'd at least be an idiot. I don't really know about the other two.

Whatever I just finished a group ride and they were cheering me on when I went off the front. The actual fast racers dont care that I don't wear a shirt. Only Freds with faster bikes than they need get upset. They just want me in a helmet which I don't like but what can you do (I bring it on my handlebars and put it on for the ride.)

Did they also turn off the route right after you went off the front?
