While I agree partially to OF's post, to me it is not fair that for being politically correct, good riders need to suffer to the moods and whims of others. I learnt a lot from Vishwas's experience, enough to plan my future rides. What's with not calling spade a spade? I haven't done a group ride ever, because frankly I don't think I can fit in a group. I rode with friends, but that too was never restricted, we just started and reached at the same time, with full middle journey on our own.
Some of Vishwas's experiences as posted were so horrifying, even though he laughs at them, from day 1 to last day, I am not sure whether I have the mental ability to endure that. In heart, I appreciated him for enduring all the things and taking them very lightly. And here a thread starts about how people should maturely behave?! I have read some very beautiful articles from Old Fox, and respect him as a writer. But this post educates the message carriers, that don't publish full information, inform only the goody goody things, and people will be happy.
"Never has the washing of dirty linen in public been educative for anyone. " I object, I learned a few things.
Now I bet the supporters will say 'don't take personally'. Don't be so politically correct, name the people.
