Thanks, Martin. I think I have a good track record for being an overall reliable and faithful group ride attendee/leader for the past five years. I fumbled this one (and in so doing f***ed up the start to my birthday...dang) but hopefully a misguided "safety" call won't deter others from including me among those they like to ride with in the future.
p.s. Claire's "don't be a bonehead" tip for the day: refresh your figbug page when checking road conditions (particularly when bleary-eyed).
