Group rides are all different, and totally depend on the personalities of the leaders. And the camaraderie factor is really independent of the difficulty. There are rides that are challenging and friendly, not-challenging and unfriendly, and all the other combinations.

Group rides do make you a better cyclist, but the important thing in all cases is to ride the way you want to.
