That list isn't advice for your beginner group ride. It's for
later!
Take cues from the leader and don't ride too close to other people (because of them and because of you). No sudden movements. Don't surprise other riders (tell them you are passing, etc). Keep a straight line. Don't cut corners. Have fun.
