I found PPTC to be very good. It's not competetive, at least not on the C-paced rides, and the few B-paces I did I still found people who went my (slower) pace. People regroup at rest stops, but it's not a guided tour...you go at your own pace and follow the cue sheet. I always found people of similar pace to ride with. The cue sheets are good. Unless you are doing a race training club ride with a team doing pacelines, any group will naturally spread out.

Same with Oxon Hill.

Like me, you might want to start with slower D-paced. I quickly got bored with those and moved on to the C-paced rides.

Try it out a few times and see how you like it.
