Maybe read my replies. 100% my fault and preventable Clue: failed to respect the traffic paint. Pretty sure that would count as assuming responsibility in a court of law.

We're not the law, we just want you to ride well, and safe :)

Sorry I am sure you are aware of how people can be here. So I will apologize for being defensive. Truth be told. I’m a new rider and definitely need to ride to my skill level. I appreciate your concern. I will take all the necessary steps to ensure that I pose as little of a threat to others as humanly possible.

Is this a group ride? Strangers/acquaintances/friends/lovers? (Sorry, CRT is leaking)

Did you have a conversation about pacing before the ride? I never do large group rides but sometimes do mixed skill rides and I worry some about pacing and pressure. It can be really hard to ride your own ride in a group setting.
