I can understand where you are coming from. For me it's based on what I'm out there planning to do for that day. I enjoy riding in groups but also enjoy the solo stuff as well. I got a good dose of both yesterday.

And I KNOW better as well. Pulling a group of 30 for that long was just dumb-but I thought I could jump back in and catch some wheels. Little did I know I was riding that hard or that a nice hill lay just ahead.......and the second time the visual of seeing us reeling in the large group was motivating-plus I had a really nice TT rhythm going. I misjudged that I could sustain the pull until latching onto the rear of the group. I guess what surprised me the most was mounting a 3rd effort to get back on by myself. All of that cost me in the long run as I paid dearly about 25 miles later.
