Too much empty space. I spent six weeks doing a solo ride in France -- Versailles, Chartres, Loire Valley rivers and castles, eastern Brittany, St. Malo, Cherbourg, St. Mont Michel, Honfleur, D-Day beaches, Bayoux, Chantilly, Paris (where I caught the Tour de France finishing at the Champs-Elysées) ... amazing experience.
