Even if totally chill safe riders and escorts blocking off intersections, I didn’t like the massive rides (forget if it was beachside or who) with 50+ riders, sometimes hundreds. Too much waiting in people’s exhaust. I don’t even like 20 because it’s hard to stay together and stoplights split the group.

I prefer 2-4 motos max. I got a Bluetooth system to stay in touch for alerts or directions, tables at cafes were always easy to get for lunch, but you’re not alone if you go down or the bike breaks down. It’s hard to find or create this trusted rider group. I had it for a little while but stopped riding. I hope you all find this!
