You know, I used to HATE riding alone.
Probably partially because I always felt less motivated, and you lose the benefits of drafting and saving energy in a pace line. However, nowadays I love riding solo. It gives me time to think, and I can do my own kind of workout – long and steady, intervals, whatever. And I think everyone should spend their fair share of time in the wind. Regardless, I know I need to get back on some fast group rides to push myself. Here’s a segment from tonight’s ride on Strava:

About 2/3 of my rides are solo — when the temperature drops below freezing you can believe how hard it is to find someone to ride with you!
