Jim - With any decently faired bike you are going to be riding alone, unless you ride with another faired bike. With my F-40, and especially the Quest, riding with other recumbents at their speed is a challenge. It is like riding a normal recumbent with a DF - except worse.
Because a faired bike is so fast on the downhill, and on level ground, my strategy is to usually wait at the top of a hill for everyone else and then leave them behind again on the downhill and wait at the top of the next hill.
Only very physically fit, positioned very low in the aero bars, time trial athletes are able to get a 1/2 draft off the F-40 or Quest, and then only if they are just inches from the rear of the bike. Even then you have to hold the speed of Quest exactly steady - any little variation in your faired bike speed and they'll lose the draft and drop off the end like a rock.
Unless the recumbent rider was very experienced drafting in fast, large groups, I would not want a recumbent with the buzz saw on the front of their bike just inches from the rear of my Quest.
On the plus side you are going to get Strava KOMs like this:

)
