Been riding alot on my own lately. I just enjoy my own pace and not the ebb and flo's of the pack. Plus, I've had this odd feeling that one of these packs are due for a crash. I don't hope for this of course, but when I assume my spot in the rear of the packs I see inexperience and carelessness, it's just a matter of time.
Some of my fast friends don't understand my solo riding, they tell me I'm "not very social". Here are a few reasons for my loner behavior.
-As mentioned earlier, I like pushing the speed I want, for as long as I want.
-Self-preservation (also mentioned above).
-I LOVE MUSIC. (hard to carry a conversation when I'm trying to groove)
-Music also drowns-out the crunchy sound of Crepitus in my right knee. Am I kidding? Ask me to demonstate sometime.
-I'm slower. Yes, it's true, my blinding speed has diminished with age.
So there's my reasons, or excuses for this behavior and i'm okay with all of them...
