Hmm...you might look into a bike shop on Lady's Island (Beaufort) for some routes out that way that are pretty. I forget the name of the shop, but I think it's really the only bike shop out there...I think it's full range from road bike to cruisers.

You can also look up the Coastal Bicycle Touring Club website. I believe they have some weekend rides of various speed levels. Some of them are a bit of a hike out towards Rincon, GA, but they do some near Bluffton too.

Otherwise, I'm not sure of many groups that will be at your pace level / interested in looking at scenery. A lot of the people I ride with around there are at least 40 years old, but they're fast. I am from the area, and I pretty much go home and do those rides to suffer. I get so used to riding on rolling hills where you get a rest now and then on a descent, but on the flat terrain in the lowcountry, you never stop pedaling, and those guys pedal at race pace.

Here are some routes from those rides I posted that you could do on your own.

(both the above loops are ridden clockwise from downtown Savannah)
