Everybody follows their own directions. Some people's directions have
them following other people.

So the grumpiest person here,

Krygowski is the one who attacks people for doing things that don't
affect him and are none of his business.

and the one with the most limited riding
regime, thinks there's no joy or value in riding with others.

I said I don't care to follow other people's directions. Group rides
are about someone else deciding when, where, and how fast you go, when
to make a rest stop, and when to go again.

If it gives you joy and value to follow other people's directions,
then don't let my opinions deter you.

On my most recent group ride, I had friendly conversation with at least
8 different people,

Do you really keep track of all the people who'll talk to you?

and I was introduced to a few roads I'd never
ridden, some with beautiful scenery.
At the group ride's end, I carried
on solo for another 16 miles or so at a higher pace.

Wow...  16 miles.

I'm happy to be able to enjoy riding with others or riding solo, riding
fast or riding more slowly, riding for recreation or for utility.
Some folks are much more limited.

Some folks simply don't need other people's attention and
acknowledgement.
