You should just jump into the B's. The main difference is that the C+ group tends to stop . . . a lot . . . and the B's don't. Also, the pace of the C+ group slows considerably after a climb. The B group is not considered a "no-drop" ride. The group will occasionally split into a couple of different paces, though.
I'm pretty sure I'll be there this Thursday, and I'm not tough to find - not too many girls out there. Look for the red/gold Cannondale. I'll be glad to stay with you if you're at all concerned about the pace.
