Well, I go on different rides to get different experiences.

For example, if I want...

1) A slow ride where I get to chat- I ride with my Sunday group.

2) To hammer it some- I ride with my Tuesday group.

3) To go the distance and not get dropped- I ride with my Saturday distance builders group.

4) To go the distance and rest every 10-12 miles- I ride with my Saturday no drop ride.

You get the point.

I know that I can't do one type of ride all the time. I change it up often, so I can stay interested and challenged.. and it keep it's fun. If I ride with groups where I get dropped all the time... that is NOT fun.
