I hit some nasty trail etiquette today! went riding at the fells with 2 friends (?) one being my roomate!! I set up the ride, meeting time, etc. we hit the fells and it seemed that these 2 guys didnt get that females (me at 110lbs) are usually not as strong in the legs and they left me in the dust, didnt stop at any crossroads and lost me completely. I finished the loop by myself, very pissed off, especially at my roomate who was the first to take off and does NOTHING for himself regarding his bike. today was his first ride of the season..i changed his tires, lubed his chain (he has no tools, gear, anything) and he couldnt wait for his friend at the crossroads? Is it that testosterone thing that happens with 2 guys on the trail?? do they have to race to the finish leaving their friends behind to get lost?? i dont get it!! never endountered that on a group ride before. Just plain rude!! Found them later back at the car. Their excuse was that they turned around and looked for me for 45minutes. so i should be grateful?? they should have stopped at the crossroads and waited, then they wouldnt have to turn around and look. It tuned out they werent even on the marked loop at the fells so as i continued the marked loop ride i never caught up with them. Annoyed, needed to vent
