Yup, all the way out to Kaena Point...wasn't all that boring for me though, as I was playing dodg'em with Robert...he was doing his usual, speed up and pass, then fall back...once we were all lane changing and he was behind me, I go to move left into the fast lane following the leaders and he's there already right next to me, startled me good. Had a talk with him and told him that he couldn't be doing that, he said that he liked to be up front with the faster guys...I told him that's fine, just don't be checking up entering the sweepers if that's where he wanted to be... |

Should have been honest with him and told him that he was no where near skilled enough to be up in the front. |

Water will seek it's own level. Just hope that it doesn't spill over onto anyone else. |

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori. Good people drink good beer. Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.
It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level. Everything else is just fluff.

And somewhere between Makaha and the H2 offramp, my wallet jumped out of my jacket pocket. FML.

When I spoke to him he became kind of defensive, so I figure one of the more experienced guys should tell him...problem is most of them don't see his antics 'cause they're in the front... |

He appears to be a nice guy, he just doesn't have a clue...kind of a happy-go-lucky sort out for a Sunday stroll in the park...

I don't mean to bad mouth the guy...later in our conversation he was apologetic and said he would try to stay out of my way, not the point I was trying to make...I kind of hang back as I'm no hot shoe on a bike and am just getting comfortable on the SF, and as he told me, Robert likes keep the correct interval with the lead riders...he does this fine in a straight line, but when the road gets curvy he can't maintain and is in the way...

i don't think you're bad mouthing him. i've seen him do some interesting stuff. on the last ride i think he freaked out the guy on the 1198S when we were coming out of the H3 tunnels.
it's partly because of guys like him that i ride in the back. i've seen a couple nasty accidents because someone in the middle messed up and took someone else out. don't apologize for being concerned.
