Congrats on your ride. Hey, my first longish ride was 22 miles. Must be a magic number.

I was on a rail trail, and I hopped off and walked my bike to cross streets. And if I feel like it, I will do the same thing next time I go. As I return to biking, I am doing exactly what I feel comfortable and safe with.

I hope you can find some patient folks to ride with. That's one of my goals, too.
