RE: Ride Alone?
I have such a free work schedule, that most of my ride time is when everyone else is at work...so mostly alone. However, I do participate in charity, church, and benefit rides, and catch my brother and dad every once in great while.

RE: Ride Alone?
yes, i ride alone almost 99% of the time. but it's not by choice. my wife rides, but she works 4 days a week. i have a couple friends who have bikes, but they have full time jobs as well. i, on the other hand, work from home and have tons of free time on my hands. hence, i end up riding alone, just wandering around the back roads outside oregon city. kinda lonely, but i've gotten used to it.

RE: Ride Alone?
Depends on the day and the mood. Riding with other folks can turn into work. When I ride alone, I enjoy being able to go wherever looks interesting, push as hard as I want, or ride into someplace and fart around, if that is what I feel like doing. I NEED to ride alone sometimes. The most relaxing and rewarding rides are 100% alone. I have fun at times riding with others, but do not actively seek it out. If I want to ride, I ride.

RE: Ride Alone?
99% alone (or 2up with wife), occasional poker run or HOG chapter ride. Occasional group rides can be a fun change of pace but they are a lot of effort. Group rides are about the slowest speeds my bike ever sees.
