don't expect to be perfect in a group first time out.
It is an acquired art, we all had to serve time learning
I have been that guy, in the wrong gear, falling off while riding clipless etc etc
stay at the back, watch, learn, and listen.
In a good group just shout "take one off" to get them to slow down, and they should wait to regroup.
We accommodate the slower, lesser experienced rider because we have all been there.
Try any club, or even CTC rides, to learn the "ettiquette", its the quickest, friendliest way.
Once you dip your toe in the rest will follow. Ride with no preconceptions, if its too fast and hard drop off and ride your own route, just try to let them know you are dropping off, If its too slow, help others.
every time something will be learnt
