Group ride carnage

Is there any worse sound than screeching brakes accompanied by the sound of bodies and bikes hitting the ground in a tangled web of pain?

Nobody was seriously hurt, but jeez. Never ridden with a quieter group. Nobody calling a fucking thing. This was a 22 mph avg group. We stepped it up to about 24+ for the rest of the ride and ditched those twits. Never riding with that crew again

Stay safe out there, and for God's sake, let somebody know when you are slowing down.

Doesn't take anything to drop a hand off the bars to indicate a hazard on one side for anyone following a wheel too close to see around.
