This ws in the days when there was no mobile phones, even bricks. Otherwise, head for the nearest farm house and ring for an ambulance. I've led literally hundreds of club rides - long, short, day, night, flat, hilly, slow, fast. I never worried overly much about people crashing. Of course, I'd call "gravel" or "hole" if that was needed, and I might caution people "this downhill has a sharp curve" or whatever. But it was never much of a worry. Over here, you'd be calling gravel all the time. We didn't have that many incidents either, but when you're encouraging people to go touring, it helps reassure them. OTOH, anyone riding slicks was almost guaranted an ambulance ride home or a lot of limping if a local ride. |
