Just choose that club carefully. My local one is into racing- Time trials and cyclocross. Full of fit bu**ers and they are mostly young. Even the grey bearded ones race so it is not the ideal club for me to even join in on their 15 mile at 15 mph rides. Last one I did I did manage to stay in the pace line at 22mph along a flat section but when they still did 22 up a 10% for 1/2 mile I decided that I was in the wrong club. Trying to get fit enough to keep them in sight but no way I will be doing the longer rides at a higher advertised pace.

But there is another one locally that I will be trying when the weather improves. I was going to do a 50 miler on Sunday with them but I have cancelled out. 30F temp with wind and the possibility of snow means that i will training down the gym----Again.
