I was very nervous the first time in a group. I wasn't sure I would be able to keep up with them and not knowing anyone really made it hard. Luckily they handed out route slips for everyone, but I managed to keep up with the group and luckily I picked a ride that was near my regular riding area, so if I did get lost or dropped I could make my way back home. It was really nervous having all the other bikes around me that close, but I managed to do ok and have a good time. Don't worry to much about it, just go out and have some fun. Report back and let us know how you did.
