There are rides where they will make sure no one gets dropped. be honest with the ride leaders and they will be more likely to be honest with you. Let's face it, if they like to race each other to the finish, they're not going to want to stay back with someone who is panting at 11 mph.

Tybody, I am a leader for AMC, Boston chapter bike trips. We have "beginner" level rides, where the average is 10-13 mph. Usually, it's around 10-11. Because of our liability rules, we have to have a sweep and we can't drop anyone, unless they tell us they are off the ride... not sure where south of Boston you live, but the Boston chapter and the SE MA chapter might have rides in your area.
Click on the chapter you're interested in and there should be a schedule.
