I'm not doing it this year, but TOSRV is so big that you never ride alone if you don't want to. (Or, often, even if you do want to. ) Once you start, you'll find someone riding close to your pace, and if they look like someone you'd like to get to know, strike up a conversation! You can always ditch them at a snack stop or tell them you need to pee if it doesn't work out.

Have fun! Do you do any of the other COP rides?
