Why ride with people?

[Cassandra_Cain]

How funny JuJu - I say that because I'm the opposite!

The few times I have ridden with others, I tend to relax, not be in a rush, savor everything, converse, etc.

While alone, I am much more focused on riding hard, pushing myself, and all that sort of thing.

What I have learned from the responses in this thread is just how much variety there is in the collective motivation of all the ladies who responded. Some ride alone to relax, some ride alone to push it, some would never ride alone, some would only ride with groups, some would never ride with groups. Somehow, we all enjoy riding, in one way or another.

Roger that, Cassandra. And hey, the reason I work harder when I'm in a group is that they're usually all out in front of me and I'm working to keep up!
