I'm still not exactly excited about the idea of riding with others, but then again I've been riding solo pretty much the whole time I've been riding so that's never been a big part of my life.
Ironically I remember this past winter thinking that this year's season I'd start doing regular group rides
I think it's really nuanced about group rides. I have been doing some with a handful of friends who I know are not "promiscuous" group riders, ie. they ride solo or just with the same circle. I like to think this is a reasonable compromise.
If you want to be extra careful, stay riding solo.
If you want to join large group rides with strangers, I don't really agree with that but I know it's happening.
