    The good clubs will have rides that encourage you to go out and go that bit further, faster and in weather that you'd normally not bother - why? Because you make friends with the other guys'n'girls in the club and enjoy that social element of it.
    I've done - and still do - quite a bit of solo riding - yes, it's nice being able to ride at my own pace and do my own course - but it's pretty lonely stopping for coffee and cake...

    there are plus points and minuses, I think the point would be dont just ride with a club because thats what everyone tells you, you have to do to be into cycling. if you find a good club that suits you great.

    but Id definitely far rather ride solo than waste my time riding with a group of people I just couldnt get along with, even if that means sometimes I miss out on the motivation sometimes to ride or the more social elements at the stops, though that can often be in a club ride where it becomes its most annoying,
