Nice pics. Love the mountains, hate riding in groups. Do it upon occasion, but certainly not my thing. Too bad about the lady and her husband. 60 mph? wow that had to be a hit.

We were on a dual sport ride in that general are the week before. 14 riders...14 bikes. I had pre-ridden the 200 miles the day before with just the ride leader. At lunch, he jokingly said "You need to go wash off my dust!" Went to the washroom, looked at my face and laughed. Next day, with 14 riders, twelve of them unknown to me, I rode a half-mile behind the sweep rider. The pace was about 80% of the day before.I wanted clean air, and no drama. Still had a lot of fun visiting at lunch, but no need to "watch" the people in front of me up close. Only one rider had a get-off. Very minor. Pick it up and kept going.
