I agree with Bill, I’ve ridden with some of the clubs that ride in the area and I’d have to say that Corinth Cycling Club is by far the safest group to ride with. I’ve ridden with some of the race training rides and it’s too dangerous, so I don’t ride with them.

By not following the rules of the roads, places such as Bartonville need to take actions to keep the roads safe. I cycle by commuting to work as well as biking for pleasure, and am one of the cyclists you will see with helmet, lights, bright clothing, and following the laws. Yet I must also endure the wrath of drivers’ insults. Part of this road rage, in my opinion, is due to the biking clubs. Although I have joined DORBA, I have not joined any of the local road biking clubs becuase of how often I see them blast through stop signs. I went on one ride with one of the clubs and was chewed out for trying to stop at the stop signs. I was told not to do this on group rides or it would cause bike crashes. Oddly enough they managed to stop at red lights without crashing. I was ashamed to be part of such a group, and don’t plan to be again any time soon.
