Subject: RE: Lake Geneva Wetsuit-less pjgrande - 2009-09-08 9:28 PM SERIOUSLY?? You stop at stop signs DURING a race??? I guess if the intersection doesn't have a volunteer (highly possible) then you would slow down, look and listen, but Ive never seen anyone STOP during a race. (In 12 yrs.) I understand why you would though. A train coming, different story completely. As far as i'm aware, the law isn't suspended because of a race. Face it - we're not pros on a closed course. My life and my wife's peace of mind are more than worth the few seconds "lost" by stopping. I was broadsided by an SUV last year while riding my bike (driver on cell phone ran a stop sign ), and don't care to relive the experience. My bike was totalled in that instance; fortunately, i was not. |
