i had the same thing out there too! on the last learner ride i was riding the fxr, trailing behind the fast group and came over a bridge (creating a blind crest) to find an idiot in a hatchback doing a U turn. i slammed brakes and horn, they stopped, blocking the left lane, so i veer right as they start moving again! they stop again, now blocking the right hand lane and i fly into the gravel shoulder after scrubbing off most my speed. got back on the road, did a 180 and the car took off

nearly chased after them but thought better of it

seriously, after having a group of bikes tear past you'd think they'd think twice before doing a blind u turn when all they had to do was go another 100m down the road and it would have been safe
