We put the brave/expendable guys up front. I figure if I'm toward the back most of the hazards have already been crashed into or kicked out of the way. Last weekend I was doing 60 and saw debris in the road, I was about to kick it out of the way and realized just in time that it was a trailer hitch!

Last weekend I was doing 60 and saw debris in the road, I was about to kick it out of the way and realized just in time that it was a trailer hitch! I race a bike (racing bicycle) and have hit a stone (the size of your thumb nail) at 28 mph and hit a guard rail, flipped over it (still attached to the bike by the pedals)and broke both wrists. Cost of a good time.
