Prefer solo, but have never been on a group ride besides a bar crawl, so am biased.

I've been doing some group rides out here. It's fun to ride with real roadies and a nice reality check for fixed street riders who think they may be hot ****. :)

I'm a fixed street rider who DOESN'T think I may be hot ****. Therefore I generally prefer to ride alone so that I don't get dropped in the first mile or, worse still, keep up and nearly have a heart-attack.

The crew i ride with (a university club) is actually pretty nice and not too serious, their kits dont match or anything. But they definitely can hurt me. A nice thing about group rides is that they come in all levels so you can find the ride that offers the right level of challenge for you.

I lead a ride for my local bike club once a month on my FG conversion. (When daylight savings time is in effect I lead my 15 mile Tue night training ride on the same FG bike.)It's a 32 mile ride over moderately hilly terrain. I use a 70" gear.
The other riders are on multi-geared bikes but an occaisional fellow FG rider shows up. The downhill really tire me out but I can get up to 35mph by really spinning that gear but am cooked 1/2 way up the next climb.:D If you are riding with a slower friend who is on a road bike, then riding a FG on rolling terrain will allow you to get a good workout too. |
