No worries - as long as you've got your helmet, your road bike (there have been people out with hybrids, but it's tough to stay with the group), and the layers you need to stay comfortable this time of year, you'll be great. There is a C group that goes out from Hershey as well, at an advertised 10-13 pace (no drop - touring pace) - at this time of year, they're probably not going to get any more than 20 miles in, if that much. Introduce yourself to the ride leader; they will watch out for you.

I'm leading the C+ ride next Monday the 25th - it'll probably be a small group, since the club's fall tour ride to Cape May leaves the next morning. Come out and play!

Feel free to pm if you have additional questions!
