I am actually in your area, but usually ride with my husband.

There are plenty of local bicycle groups that have varying difficulties of rides - you should be able to find one in your skill level. For some of them, you don't have to be a member to join in on their group rides.

Here's the schedule for the Ann Arbor Touring Society - they look like they go to some really nice places.

Looks like you'd be in the A group.
