RE: solo riding
I enjoy riding alone and do most of my riding that way, especially since I ride to work almost every day here in VA. When I'm riding purely for enjoyment, I like having one or two friends along that ride with similar styles to my own so that I don't have to think too much about what they are going to do in an emergency.
If I'm with total strangers, I'm always on alert since I don't know their riding styles or abilities.

"I love it. Just me, the bike, and those darn voices in my head...they're with me all the time..."
What he said!!!!! 99% of my riding is solo, just me.
I have a couple I ride with in warmer weather. We share the joy of riding, and camping.
There is a lot to consider when riding in a group.......... If I am not solo, it is pretty much duo. Sometimes good company is nice.

RE: solo riding
I ride alone 95% of the time, just like the freedom to go as I please. I do very much enjoy rides with my daughter and son in law and a couple of close friends, but solo rides on the secondary roads is what I enjoy the most. Seems to me George Thorogood sang a song about this topic:
I ride alone
yeah, with nobody else
you know when I ride alone
I pefer to be by myself
hhmmmm,maybe that song was:
I drink alone
well I enjoy that to!
Cheers

RE: solo riding
i thought i would ride alone until i felt safe around others. now i ride alone because it just feels right. i like to ride at least 200 miles, and most friends do about 50-75 and call it a day. also, i like to ride pretty fast if conditions are good. here in texas there is no excuse to putt around for a couple of hours and head home. i also ride solo, never had a passenger. i guess you try group riding and see if all the structure is fun or boring for you. either way ride alot and stay safe
