I’ve never ridden in a group, nor would I want to.
It’s my time to relax and think about life n stuff 🙂

I ride mostly alone, it’s nice to be social sometimes but big groups are invariably a faffathon.
The best is probably riding with one or two like-minded people, who “get” that you don’t have to talk all the time.

Generally ride on my own. Partly as I need my “own time”, partly due to generally grabbing some riding time when I can which tends to be unpredictable and spontaneous and with mates living a way away, makes group riding almost impossible.

I don’t ride with otters at all, though.

I would be too self-concious to ride in a group of people

All the rides I’ve been on from here have been very friendly open and inclusive aslong as you have a working bike and can manage the mileage (and take you turn at the gates 🙂 )there’s no problem at all.
