Paceline Rules- Potholes

This is a rule that goes for any road damage that you come up on while riding in a group. While the leader is responsible for calling out any potholes, road kill or other things up the road, there still comes time when you find yourself riding straight at the object with only enough time for evasive action. However, because you are riding in a group there is really only one option. And that is to ride straight through the object. In the case of road kill, this can be pretty nasty. In the case of a pothole, you may ruin a wheel or pinch flat. But these are both better than swerving into riders beside or behind you. Which brings me to the subject of tomorrows post, halfwheeling.
