We bareley do group rides - and don't like riding in formation at all.

Most of the time I'm by myself (taking the long way home from work) or I head out with my hubby exploring dirt/fire roads. Even then, we don't necessary stick together at all times.

Group ride on twistys don't work very well anyway - you'll never find a spot for more than 1 or 2 bikes to pass savely...

The only group ride we did last year was combined street/dirt and as soon as we hit unpaved roads we split up - everybody does his own speed pending on skill/tires and you just wait on the next intersection... that's the way I like it.
