I don't mind 250's on a ride that much... They give me the needed smoke breaks from
The frustration of waiting for them... It all balances out ;)

I think you have a lot to learn in way of leading a large group.

Mistake #1: DO NOT LEAVE ANYONE BEHIND. (I spent the morning picking up the pieces [about 10 people])

Mistake #2: DO NOT WEAVE IN AND OUT OF TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY (you have noob's on your ride an there was a ton of close calls).

Mistake #3: Know how many people are on your ride and when a person goes down STOP AND WAIT. YOU DIDN'T.

I could go on and on, but I hope I got you thinking. I hope you learned a lot today.

I will not attend another one of your rides.

Hey hey. Let's be clear on this. The 2 ninja 250s kept up. Were actually pretty close up to the front for a while. The CBRs.. That's a diff story. On southwood, the ninjas OWNED that road lol.

Ride was a bit hectic, but anything can be fun when you have friends with you :).
 
I think it was an awesome run with a few soar moments when 2 riders went down...... Either way, people need to be a little less sensitive and more skillful : If I'm on your A** in a turn, let me pass by or dont complain when I cut you off in the next turn.

Overall, gorgeous day and good boot. Maybe next time we'll have a smaller crowd !

Is everyone ok? Where did the riders go down and why?
No one should ever be left behind.

Yeah, those were some pretty nice roads up that way. And regarding the Ninja 250's as the saying goes... I’d rather ride a slow bike fast, than ride a fast bike slow. :)

Needless to say, I'll do those roads again.

I gotta agree with c-note to a certain extent but considering the size of the group hey its almost expected and I knew there was going to be crashes too many riders of varied skills and STaylorT gotta give you props way to show for the 250 riders you can ride buddy and a considerate rider.C-note if you are the fellow with the burnt orange cbr yes you blocked cars off to keep the group together and are a very capable leader. A ride like this should've been done by pm considering the interest in order to control the numbers.All in all a good ride fantastic roads gotta head up that way again for sure and it was good to meet new faces

Too much of a cluster****. C-Note made some valid points. Large groups are not easy to handle, true, but it's doable with better organization and control. I split early as I didn't feel comfortable.

Now there's a sensible rider.

We are all grown Adults and therefore SHOULD be responsible for our own decisions. Good or Bad. While I do agree this ride could have been better organized, it quickly should have become clear with such a large group and varied experiences everyone has to assess their own capabilities and element of risk associated with going on such an "adventure".

The simple task of walking with a group of 30 people will present it's own challenges to keep everyone organized etc...

Riding is no joke... If you plan on participating in a group ride, make sure you are comfortable with all aspects before you make the decision to leave the meet point.

I don't see any disclaimers, contracts, certificates etc... claiming anyone has experience to lead these type of meets. Therefore RIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Many people crash, I've crashed before and I don't blame anyone else but myself. Whether your experienced or a noob, You can't always cry to Mommy and blame someone else every time you mess up.

Overall it was a good ride, great roads and hope to ride again with a few peoPle.

In all fairness I really doubt limegreen expected that kind of turnout. Was a great ride for me and many others. Unfortunate that some lost control, but there was no serious damage done. I'm sure a lot of people won't be attending again and thats fine. Hopefully it osn't as crowded next time.


Anyways, was great to meet some new folks. I lookforward to riding with you guys again soon. Staylor where do you live by? If you're near me and miles we can hit you up whenever. We usually ride every third day at least.
 
One Great ride, thanks for leading Lime Green and nice to meet you. It was quite a group to manage, overall great roads, thanks once again...... I cannot wait to do those roads again!

We just got home now, did the 507 run via 35... was fun!
