not true as a loner myself theres nothing more motivating than coming on a fellow biker and trying to pass them ..no one likes to be passed it end up being a mini race to see what the other guys got or who will fold first...putting ur training to the test...as far as long distances go that's never been a problem I do 50+ miles routinely...trying to see just how long I can maintain my race pace...
