Why you should ride with a group?

As you may have read, I had a bike wreck the other day, but what I did not tell you about was all the help and support that came after the wreck from the group I was riding with.

As you can see from the photo, many riders stopped to check on us and offer their assistance. I counted 14, that at least stopped to make sure everything was taken care of. And about 8 that waited until everything was settled. Most of these riders have only seen me on the occasional Tuesday evening ride. One pair of riders actually sprinted back inorder to be able to return quickly with a truck and pick me up. And as with any good group many have since inquired about my status...I am happy to say, aside from some road rash, bruising and my injured pride, I am fine.
