TxDoc gives some good advice, but I got the impression that this ride was a "newbie" ride. As such, I'd be really surprised if you rode in a tight paceline.
In any event, I agree that you and your husband can practice on your own to get used to riding in one. I, personally, wouldn't ride in a paceline with new riders. Having seen a lot of foolishness on group rides, I'm of the mind that new riders shouldn't get in a paceline of any significant size if they're otherwise not used to riding around people and/or don't know the dos and don'ts of riding in a paceline.

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

The cycling club has several rides all at the same time. We are going to join the new rider group. From what I've read there will be actual first timers like us, and also some people who have been riding a few months and the group has leaders for the front and the back so no one gets left behind.
Thanks for all teh great advice. Our bikes are getting tehir 30-day tune up today so they'll be ready for our ride. It should be fun!
