I guess it depends on what the club views a beginner to be. In our club we expect a beginner to be able to ride 20 miles anywhere from between 12-14 mph. I guess we think if you want to go slower or shorter than that then you really are most likely just looking to "tool around" rather than looking for an organized ride. Most people here start out on their own until they feel stronger and then they start thinking about group rides. I don't think of a "beginner" as someone who just awoke one morning and decided to join the club ride. The club should define what is expected on the beginner ride though.
Edited to add: DDH...I'm not saying that you just woke up one morning and decide to ride...I know you've been riding for awhile. I'm just speaking in general terms.
