I went on a group ride of 18 sportbikers (Last weekend) from Phoenix to Prescott AZ, its about 90 miles oneway, about 10 miles of that a very twisty road. I am in a sportbike club here in Phoenix and this is my first "large" group ride with the club members....period.
Prior to the ride, the leader of the ride explained "how the road is, how to be respectful of all the riders, no stupid passing is allowed, and everyone to ride at thier own pace." I was very impressed with how everyone rode, using turn signals as well as hand signals, let those pass when needed and since I was in the back due to lack of "twisty" expericence, no one left me in the dust.
Once we had met our destination we had a great hearty lunch, then the same way back.
All in all it was a great experience, a very "respected" ride and fun!!! And I have to admit, I did pretty good on those "twisites!!!" :wink:
