There are groups to fit just about any style of riding. Glad you found one! It can really be an inducement to ride more, further, and faster than you might on your own.

I do three or more a week, from easy social rides to borderline hammerfests, depending. It's all good.

(But trust me: you'll want to get clipless pedals. And when you do, you'll say "what took me so long?" )
