2. The group won't pull over after a red light. Anyone at the red will just catch up when it's green.

May be basic but I've seen bad things happen because this rule was said up front.

I think we are all on board with what you are saying. We don't need any stupid stuff.

I'd like to throw in something I've learned from many group rides on motorcycles:

Always obey all traffic laws (or don't, remember speeding tickets are voluntary road taxes), that goes without saying, HOWEVER..if the driving gets spirited, DO NOT push yourself beyond what you feel comfortable doing just to keep up. We're not going to leave you behind because you feel like cruising through the countryside.

Hey all, I'm going to have to back out. I'm not feeling well and should probably stay home and rest. I'm bummed out. Take lots of pictures.
