I'm also surprised at the number of folks that actually prefer to ride alone. I'm not a fan. Maybe its because 1/2 of my riding is commuting, and I am always alone for that.
Interesting. I never do group rides, though I probably should give them a try again. I am not an antisocial person. But I really enjoy riding alone. It's peaceful and relaxing and even when I am pushing myself, which I often do, it is just for me. Nobody else. And I kind of like that.
