I do not know what it is about The Sunday Bunch, but seems no matter where you are, who is there or people's current physical state - the ride often ends up playing out the same way... Flat out!
In my short experience the bunch is normally made up of some protagonists eg. like ex pros or ex neo pros, young and up and coming races, some older guys thinking they are pros, and the so called Weekend Warrior. With only perhaps one ride per week, the Weekend Warrior is always up for a good ride! With all these guys coming out each weekend all perhaps of the Type A personality, it is no wonder all hell breaks loose!
A while ago someone started calling one bunch ride the World Champs on Sunday. And each weekend is another edition!
Not that I do not enjoy this kind of riding especially as I put myself in one of the groups above, but sometimes you do need an easy day... then you must stay away or just ride with a couple of guys... that is usually not too bad. It is when you get a certain 'critical mass' that things go stupid!
