I agree with Bobatin... most social type clubs will cater to people of all skill levels... the club I ride with usually breaks into 3 main rides, and then usually within those rides.. it breaks up even more with the faster guys going ahead, and the slower ones behind... but no one ever gets dropped... even my wife has been on a couple rides with my club, and she is a total newbie... she rides the shorter rides, and the leaders will definitely hang out with her making sure she gets back all in one piece... it all depends on the club... try one out.. if you don;t like the vibe, or feel that the other riders are WAY beyond your level.. try a different one... your in CArlsbad, so I know there must be 1/2 dozen clubs in your area... I'm up the 5 here in OC, and I can rattle off 6 or 7 clubs... just find one that fits
