Some groups just ride at 14-15 MPH, too. My local club is composed mostly of tourers and social riders with little interest in racing or otherwise increasing speed. I do my hammering on the bike commute, which is backwards from how a lot of cyclists do it.
If you ask your local bike shops, they may know of rides in your area that aren't geared toward going fast.
