I suppose there's not much point having a pairs category if solos could ride as pairs
Pairs have a 'soft rule' for keeping within a mile of each other at all times. Solo riders pairing up and riding side-by-side for an hour/day/week don't have this restriction.
Although, like the rest of the rules, they're not exactly clear and open to individual interpretations by every person that reads them. A few more examples of things that are allowed and disallowed would help (e.g. examples of how long it's ok to ride side-by-side someone if you're a solo entrant). Everyone's interpretation of the 'spirit' of this type of racing will be slightly different too.
You never know, they may be purposely riding ~160 meters apart given the tracker accuracy is .1 mile.
On the rules page, for example, the only mention of drafting is in the pairs section (where it states it is allowed). I know it says "NO DRAFTING" on the front page, but you'd think it would have been made clear again on the rules page.
