I tend to be fairly picky about who I ride with (maybe too picky?). Got some feedback on how I can be safer, ride better, then I'm all ears. If they're trying to make everyone be carbon copies of themselves, to enforce some sort of "cult" ride rules I'm out. I know the way home (or at least my GPS does). Maybe that's why m/c clubs never appealed to me. Too much forced structure for such a "free" activity.

I'm a firm believer in riding your own ride. If someone is a faster rider than me, excellent...I know the next stop...I'll catch up there, and I'll buy the first round of cokes. If they're slower than me, that's cool too. It about enjoying the ride. I'm not sure why some folks want to make it so rigid and stressful.
