Greetings from a 60+ solo rider, and fellow loner, in the Pacific Northwest! When I lived in Utah, used to ride with a few people from work occasionally, and even tried a few organized group rides. But found I was always going at a pace that seemed unnatural to me - either slowing down to stay with the group (not too often), or more often, perpetually behind and feeling (internal) pressure to keep up. All in all, just found the rides not as enjoyable.
