I really enjoy riding by myself, gives me some "me time", and I can do whatever I want. Either saunter along and enjoy the scenery, hammer as hard as I can, or some of both in the same ride.

I like riding with DH to spend time togehter, but he has no group riding skills and doesn't care to learn. He doesn't believe in drafting, as in, he claims he never feels an energy savings by drafting off someone. I can't draft off him for very long because he's inconsistent. He slows unexpectedly and forgets to point out hazards. We have a friend that is fun to ride with, he's stronger than me, but very consistent and is generally happy to go any pace you'd like.

I recently joined a club and I like riding with them because it pushes me to do more than I think I can. In addition I'm learning skills and gaining confidence in my bike handling.
