I think it depends on your personality and everyday routine.

My job involves talking to people all day so I prefer to ride alone. It's also one of the reasons why I stopped racing...

Riding offroad alone in isolated places is dodgy though (never stopped me) but you always had at the back of your mind, "what if I come a cropper?" And you keep something back.... (Yes I used to be a boy scout... and everything that applies to hiking with regard to safety also applies to MTBing).

MTB'ing is a difficult one in a group ride as the differences in technical ability and fitness tend to really drag a bunch out which can de-moralise the back markers and infuriate the front runners. I've been at both ends throughout my riding life, and I prefer riding on my own really... Unless I'm riding with really good buddies, in which case I love laughing at their crashes, and hearing them laugh at mine

I'm really looking forward to Xmas as one of my best buddies will be around and we'll hopefully fit in a ride, he'll kick my arse this year but I'll enjoy it just 'cos its 'quality time'

yeah I'm definately a bit sith.

and just like Anakin, i don't remember laughing at you all and your misfortune. Blocked it out like the light sabre massacre of the halflings huh?

And I'm on the Jedi council...ha ha.

:shock: :twisted:

I prefer road bike rides alone ... just the road, a tune on my ipod and bloody squirrells to swerve around.

however ...

I prefer off-road rides in groups, if you fall and hurt yourself deep in the woods some one is around to pick you up. But, I have done some proper solo epics in the past, 50 miles off-road with only a water bottle, a banana, no phone and 50p in my pocket.
