True, there were lots of other cold feet on pedals on Sunday,

Do not forget to carry a big sign that tells everyone else that you
decide to get dropped. This way we do not have to listen to getting dropped
stories all week.

I think he means yell something about losing contact, Oh S%$^& ,will
probably do. All to often when I look back the dropped rider is far behind
and gave little indication that they were going to be dropped. I for one
know just how hard (easy) it is to slip off the back to the point of no
return (or at least without help).
To help this situation I will sacrifice my ride and spend more time
at the back of the pack to ensure that dropped riders communicate thier
intentions forward. It will be a tough job but I think i can do it.
