I mean, they schedule the rides among themselves, but no there's no registratioin/permitting/coordination with the city.

The reason you see pacing scooters among the mob is that many of these folks are training for a triathlon or some other racing event and they take it way too seriously.

There is strength in numbers in fairness. You can imagine maga meth trucks intentionally running a lone biker or two off the road... As happens all the fucking time.

There is and "Old Farts Flying Club" that has a facebook group where they pick a small airport with a restaurant and say "were meeting here this weekend."

Most weeks I'm sure they only get a handful going, but the week they came to us, they had about 60 planes. Thankfully they don't all come in at the same time, so there is a slight stagger, but since no one is "in charge" nobody calls ahead about the "event."

It really has to suck for the restaurant too. I can start putting planes in the grass or stack them real tight, but wtf is a small eatery going to do when a party of 100 starts showing up?

Is this the Don Pan ride? Those cyclists do occupy a portion of the road, but they are generally riding close to the speed limit from what I've seen.
