Riding alone or..?

only small groups, 2 or 3 others or by myself

both - once in a while just need to get out and clear the head so solo but other times its good to ride with a group.

the scenic country roads i ride are best enjoyed alone with a drink in my hand and the road all to myself.

I like ride alone, especially for further trips. Sometimes I ride with my friends and its nice too, but these are short rides

If you ride with friends and it's to dangerous, then there are 2 options: you have not enough skills to follow the group and need to practice a bit more, or your friends ride like lunatics. The last one means you ride with the wrong friends. Anyway I prefer to ride alone most of the time. Or a small group. That means 4 or 5 maximum.

both

Is that a church in the background? what kind of church? Russian Orthodox?
