I don't like the added risk of riding alone.

It is nice to have at least 2 other riders with you in the event that something happens you have a witness to tell your story. One rider can stay on the scene and the other can go get help.

Considering this was a shot I took after an hour of riding...I don't think I'm going to find many people to ride with. I'm usually pulling back in to the garage when most people are waking up.

That's another thing I run into. I'm an early bird. Everyone else wants to get started when I'm finishing up.

I used to have two crews I'd ride with--one usually met up at 8-830 am and another that met up at noon. Sometimes I'd go out with both of them and spend all day in the canyons. Those were the days...

With the way we do group rides here, it doesn't really matter if there are 5 people or 25 people attending. We all break up into groups depending on skill level and stay in that order. That way there will be a fast group, slow group, and however many groups in between.

I like riding by myself. Yeah, it's a little scary thinking about goin down and no one is around...but such is the risk I take.

A Colorado motorcyclist was traveling by himself on a highway in Idaho and crashed into a ditch. The newspaper said he was on a Gold Wing. Hunters found his body three weeks later: http://www.denverpost.com/search/ci_13393168. The article said he died at the scene, but I wonder if he died right away, or if he could have been saved if someone else was there.

It will be shame if it's due to just not being found in time....
