Years ago, I rode from Boston to Seattle (with a nontrivial and unplanned detour through Canada) by myself. I may never do another cycling tour again (for a number of reasons) but it was one of the greatest experiences in my life. It all started out when I heard about some friends (brothers) who did the same and I know that I personally motivated at least 3 other people to do similar rides. Oh jeez, I could go on and on actually, but I will keep it brief, it was a wonderful experience overall. I am lucky and grateful that I was able to do something like that.
