    Anyone enjoy riding on their own?

    Personally just moved and in a dead area.
    Cycling on my own to explore over the weekend.
    Miss my local CC after many years on my own.

    I used to ride with friends
    I used to ride with friends as a kid and explore as a young teen on my own, then back in a pack/club then a became a ride leader – now need fitness!

    I like the ideas above such as goal orientated rides on your own such as: hills or intervals and catching up with a club now and again.

    Working long hours too, so I’m in a similar boat as everyone here trying to fit the rides in.

    Riding clubs for one? Thought that was Strada! #o

    My riding times are too inconsistent to consider joining a club (plus there’s nothing that close to me – I did look into it).

    I’m time pressured enough without spending 30 minutes of my limited cycling time stopped at a cafe as well 🙂

    I’ve never really tried the chain-gang thing or a club ride though – so I may be missing out 🙂

    Mostly on my own, allows me to focus on what i need to be doing that day…intervals, hill climbing, sprints recovery etc etc. I do however ride for a club to let me race on a track and do go on a (not slightly club organised, just kinda happens) chain gang every Saturday.

    I like both, only manage to get out with club every few weeks as have to work round family commitments.

    Club runs are good fun as are changangs which I hang on to, though I also enjoy my own company on the majority of my riding.

    I like club riding even
    I like club riding even though I was one of the slowest. It takes a bit of concentration when in a pack, especially at pace. Most of my training, well 99% used to be solo, so i do like my own company more.

    Mostly on my own unless my brother comes over. Biggest problem is the motivation to ride just that litle bit further on the next ride. I don’t mind being on my own going at my own pace which has increased slightly recently, but I’m a terrible self-motivator.

    I have tried clubs and not quite for me. Simply because not fast enough for the chain gangs and too fast for the strollers … Also frankly found them a bit cliquey for me and of course on your own you determine you own speed, route etc.

    Plus I don’t like to stop as it wastes time really and we all have busy lives.
