I still very much enjoy riding solo. Its hard for me to see all the interest in group rides. I can do intervals as long or as short or as hard as I like. Stop and take a picture, or what ever when ever the mood strikes. I can do whatever route that strikes me at the time, etc. etc. etc. Isn't it great that we all don't like or want to do the same things? I very much enjoyed the pace lines when I did the Tour de Mesa, but thats another story.
