Ill be going solo due to a very rough schedule, go when I can go there is no real way to plan it.
Maybe if a local group goes out to the trails very close to me at a convienent time I can hook up with them and get some experience. More than likley I will just have to run into sombody friendly out on the trail and see if they dont mind me following behind them ^^
I might not be in the same shape I used to be but I have a tendancy to do just as good as the person infront of me no matter if im in good enough shape or at that skill level or not. So I will definitly benifit from riding with sombody if posible.
But atleast I wont overdo it and can learn my bike if I have to "fly solo"
