Y'know, far be it from me to disparage or dismiss what others do* but fwiw I could never
only ride alone. I definitely appreciate the times when I
do ride alone, and I could never
not ride alone
some of the time... but group riding is the thing that actually got me excited about road cycling, and so I have to make it a part of my weekly diet. Mixing it up between solo and group rides, that's the shiznit.
