Last year while training for IMLP I did a few of my longer rides with organized groups/rides. It's great because you get to meet alot of great people, it's cheap, there is nutrition/rest stops for you to fuel up, they are well marked AND there is SAG support. Long rides suck alone but when youhave all the other people riding too, it's not so bad :)
