Long solo rides are great. On Wednesdays, I've got the option of the usual group ride in the evening, but when I'm not in the mood for the company of others, I'll often squeeze out by myself earlier in the day. Those are usually my longest rides - if I want to be by myself, I figure that I might as well do it right and if I'm going to skip out on the guys, it's gotta be big enough that they can't rightfully give me **** about it.
