ahem.....many moons a ago...in a land not far from where I live. A young man (14) with some intellectual problems was caught fucking a duck. He moved onto to stealing ladies panties off clotheslines and peeping through windows. He'd be about 48 now, not sure where he is but I tell ya, the ducks in Richmond (oops) never returned the following season.

ahem...to get back to the original topic here...
Have nearly always ridden solo. occasionally with a trusted friend of similar ability/toy runs
Avoided group runs as tho I'd catch a social disease. Having recently joined local U-sillians I was a bit iffy about going on a run. Was pleasantly suprised that it was damn good fun.
Several reasons for this..
1. riders willing to leave ego at home and follow a few simple rules
2. designated lead rider and tail end charlie
3. regular stops to allow slower riders to catch up
4. riders who bloody well know how to stagger themselves across the lane so EVERYONE had room.
5. the route was well planned so the ones who needed to stretch their bikes legs could go for a blat in an offmainroad area.
The lunchtime conversation was interesting. It was mentioned that one group in particular that meets regularly in Upper hUtt, is not a great group to go with as they tend to the onehandondick style of riding and were all about getting there as fast as they can.
Pick the group according to your own ability. Trust yourself to know when a group is not right for you and dont be afraid to ask around to see what else might be in your area. If you like to ride solo, then have some respect for others and be thankful there is room for all of us.

I like going fast on the road, and I am still alive!
done plenty of group rides too, just ride at your own pace.
you dont need to be going fast to get wasted, just make a mistake.
this war on speed (by media and police) is a bit mis guided
