I mostly ride by myself, mainly because I don't have others to ride with, but also I enjoy being by myself and reflecting. I am not sure I am ready to ride with others anyway, I would feel like I was slowing them down. I already feel like I slow DH down whenever we get to ride together, which is not very often. It kills me, no more often that he rides and he can still get on and leave me.
What is a recovery ride?

After you've done a hard ride its good to get out and go easy the next day - so you do a "recovery ride". The basic idea is to keep it easy spinning and keep your heart rate down.

i mainly ride solo but its also because i don't have anyone to ride with.
on BF's easy days he will ride with me bc he has a hard time going out easy and it keeps his hr lower. so his easy days are my hard days. i have a hard time going hard when i'm by myself. so he helps my do more of a training/get my butt in shape/better cyclist ride."Forget past mistakes.
