That is wonderful that the ride turned out so good for you. Bravo!

Group rides get me going faster than I would ride by myself because I worry about being left behind or dragging the group too slow. So, the group rides have definitely got me to push harder at biking, even when I train by myself. I would encourage you to keep going to the group rides to push yourself since you sound like you weren't behind at all except for one hill. Also, I try to get towards the front of the group BEFORE going up the hill. Even if everyone passes you, at least you are LESS far behind than if you start going up hill at the very back of the group.
