Funny thing is, I tend to be a very social and friendly guy in my day to day life. In fact, I am certain that some people who know me wish that I would shut up.
Oh sure, I like riding with one of my friends who also ride but never more tnan1 other rider
My time on the bike is for me to clear my head and enjoy the quiet and solitude I don't like to talk while I'm riding...I don't know why but I just don't.
Oh, I will wave to other riders but I don't chat.
Every group rides I've ever been on was very social and I was uncomfortable....not like the everyday me.
Yes, I HATE group rides.
I agree with you 100%. I hate group road cycling rides and usually ride alone while on the road bike. It's therapy for an introvert like me. Mountain biking is for social/group rides.
