Just a reminder that when we are in the paceline it is important that people on the front need to communicate potential hazards (such as a rider up) for those riding in the paceline behind them.
This morning's crash might have been avoided that way...and an innocent Castelli jersey might not have lost its life. :shock:

Yup, my bad. Very sorry Alan. Things happened quickly and as I started to move right to go around the commuter, she swerved out into the middle of the lane. I was just starting to move my hand back to signal a move right, when this happened, and I had to grab my bars and avoid her swerve. I do apologize for not calling out, and will do so in the future. As my first TTT ride this year, I was a noob.

The commuter probably swerved in shock at the sound of 4 bikes bearing down on her. I like to yell ahead "on your right". They will usually get the swerving over with before you get there. i could be wrong, but my 2 cents
