N° 1: The freedom to cycle along at your own pace

Riding as part of a group has its advantages, but its disadvantages too. For instance, each person doesn’t necessarily ride along at the same pace or have the same expectations in terms of what distance to cover each day. Riding by yourself allows you to manage your cycling exertions according to your requirements and to take breaks as and when you feel like them.

If you prefer to get up at 6am and to limit your cycling to the mornings while perhaps dedicating your afternoons to visiting places, then you can do so, travelling on your own. Conversely, if you prefer to cycle along much of the day, but to enjoy a long break around lunchtime, that’s up to you. So, riding along by yourself means the freedom to ride along at your own rhythm.
