I guess I like the peace and quiet of riding alone and still feel somewhat uncomfortable riding in a group. Never sure whether the other person is paying attention and the other riders seem to ride too close. At least too close for me.
2 Stacy September 13, 2009 at 5:48 pm: @RichardM: I’ve found that the best group rides involve folks that 1) have comparable riding styles to mine, and 2) I’ve ridden with regularly. If you ride a lot with good riders, you’ll develop a rapport with them. The folks I ride with are way faster than I am, but we still manage to have fun together because we know each other and our tendencies and plan our regrouping spots accordingly.

This project is a custom mic and headset setup for Stacey and I, because the standard headsets that come with the radios won’t work with our helmets.
