Why ride with people?

[Eden]

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.
