Tony after my string of no fault accidents over the last 2 years I did think about giving up road riding, but I have always found riding home after work the best way of releiving stress and Annette would divorce me!
seriously annette and i avoid group rides as in our experience unless the riders know each other extremely well the potential for disaster is too high, we (i) try to ride at reasonable speeds and follow the advise given to us by a friend who is an ex police rider/instuctor the crux of it being only go as fast as you can see and observe speed limits within reason.

by the very fact that you did not have the accident and had observed all the factors you showed that your observation and judgement was spot on. you cannott prevent other people having accidents but by using good judgement you can avoid the most common accidents.

If you carry on road riding your skills stay current if you stop and then restart you have to relearn everrthing that is instincive now. plus I thought that angie was thinking of getting a licence? who would she have to ride with when learning how to survive on the roads.
