FWIW..start alone. You will meet plenty of others on the road and be bound to no one. If they get to be irritating you can easily move on. You are always your own best company.
Also, touring alone seems to bring out the best in people you meet on the road. I have been offered all kinds of hospitality when alone I am sure would not be offered to a group.
