I had a lot of folks asking me why I didn't call them when I posted pics of a ride. So, I created a Facebook group and added everyone that I know who rides. As you may have guessed it, I ride solo a lot with a group that has 79 members. No problem, I just did it so when someone asks I can say, I posted it in the group. I can't text 20 or 30 people every time I get a wild hair up my **** to ride. Solo rides are the best. Next best is a ride with a good friend or two. Anything over 3 and it turns into work.

To your point, when I do rides I always have a meeting place and a destination. That saves time and aggravation. I always have a route planned as well so I don't have to wonder which way we are going to go.

A group from around where I live ride pretty often. Actually pretty much every saturday and sunday (there are a few occasions family gets in the way).
Our biggest problem most of the time is the: Where we gonna go.... I don't care, what do you think. Sometimes that delays our start time 30 min or more (not that its an argument the whole time, just that it will be said 4 or 5 or 8 times)

On saturdays, we will leave anywhere from 9 - 11 and won't get home till after dark most times. Sundays are leave 9-11 and get home 6-7pm or before dark.

My biggest problems with these guys are that they don't follow close enough. If its 3 bikes, we usually stay within 100 yards or so. If its 4 or 5 or more, we may be scattered out a half mile. Hell we all rode to florida back in june. There were several times none of them were in sight of my mirrors. WTF?
And its not that I'm riding faster than they care to ride. They're riding the same speed, just don't stay close.

And I don't care which one of them babes it is. I'd hit it in the gym, the truck or the pig pen. Hell, it don't even have to look that good.
