Duane_Bosch Posted November 17, 2019 Share Aparently the guy on suikerbossie had a rear wheel blowout. There was a LOT of bad juju on the roads this morning. So much so that we cut our ride short after 2 close calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomo Posted November 17, 2019 Share Wind was pretty gentle todayAgreed ... wind only picked up later in the morning/early aft. Last weekend of DC prep with large numbers of 12 man groups increasing the likelihood of incident. Hope all heal up quickly.

ChrisF Posted November 17, 2019 Share Wind was pretty gentle today This side of the curtain the wind was mild ... with the odd gust ... if that gust catches you off guard it is probably more dangerous than a stronger, but consistent wind ...

tubed Posted November 17, 2019 Share DC groups and other wannabees at the moment - actually surprised there were only 2 incidents on that road this morn. If you add the motogp morons, the tour busses, the Torpedo shufflers, the ferrari outing, the marshaled harley tourist group and then a gusting wind - well lets just say its a real sh*tshow and one might think the cyclists would behave a bit better. Sadly the cycling groups were of the worst behaved. Rant over, hopefully the DC will be soon too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
