I really enjoy riding alone or with 1 or 2 friends, thats the majority of the riding i do, but now, 5 or 6 times a year I like to go on rides where the destination has a purpose, such as a rally, charity event, PGR mission etc.A lot of these are guided rides and if you want to help, you need to ride with the group. And like i said, there aint nothing like 75-100 bikes all running thru the gears at the same time when your a part of it.
