Welcome aboard. FWIW, it might be prudent to stay at the back and just get a feel for how the group is working before you try to join in. Some of us are wary of strangers...

Yeah, but with good reason...I've been taken down by some numbnuts who decided to "join in" with my local shop group. He was there for about 30 seconds before he hit the brakes, pulled into the gutter and took down 5 other riders. Busted Cervelo Prodigy, lost wedding ring, torn jersey, cuts & grazes...and cold sweats whenever I see a newbie.
