I enjoy mostly small groups, for the reason I can generally find somebody whose company I enjoy even if for only short periods at a time. I entertain myself with the diversity of other personalities. If I do tour with only one or two other individuals, I like to know what I'm in for. For years I was quite fortunate to have a "twin brother from a different mother" that I got along fabulously with, but unfortunately that ended much too soon. I generally only tour alone on shorter trips or if I have a secondary objective, such as, how many trout streams can I ride to and fish in how many days?
