I don't know if you're familiar with ACTC (actc.org), but I believe every spring they do a club ride called Chauncy's Century. It's a nice flat century that's perfect for a first timer. They don't set any speed records, but it's usually a nice supportive group and it makes for a fun ride as long as you're not in a terrible hurry.
I've heard of ACTC and looked at their ride list in the newsletter, but haven't gone on any rides with them. That does sound like the right kind of ride for me. When I'm in a hurry I just get dropped a little later in the day.
Thanks
