A good write up and this is not a recent trend either! I was a member of xBhp's first group ride to Ladakh in sirca 2005 and we came back with similar sentiments echoing in our minds.
Fast forward 5 years and the friendship amongst that "then famous" group of 5 is still pretty intact and we have clocked quite a few short and long rides together. As you grow up, if you are able keep your head in the right place things smoothen out and the fragile "buddy"ship blossoms into lifelong friendship. And once that happens, the plurality of a "group" soon disappears and you tend to go by the cliche "all for one and one for all". Much easier said than done, there isnt any shortcuts to this! Understanding each other and accomodating everyone takes time and some maturity - not every group would achieve that and thats life! Ride on.
Cheers,
Shamik
