I tried a group ride
Didn't really like it all that much.
I've stated in other threads that I prefer to ride alone but I've
read of so many group rides here that I thought I'ld give one
a try. It was a small cordial and freindly group who had obviously
logged hundreds if not thousands of miles together. All strangers to me
they welcomed and treated me as one of the group. However, I couldn't shake
the desire to stop and snoop around a little every so often. There were also
a couple of side trips I'ld have taken had I been alone. I had no
problem with the pace, though it was faster than I normally ride,
which is basicly a crawl.
The following day I struck out on my own and as usual I thoroughly
enjoyed myself. I have a work acquaintance that I promised to slow
down on a two person Road Ride this Fall but other than trying that, I believe
I'll stay a solo rider for the forseeable future.
At least I gave it a try and I believe I kept an open mind about it, I
tried to anyway.
As always...Happy Trails
