I am looking for rides to begin to build group riding skills, and this sounds like a good start, but I was a little concerned about the description of this as "challenging."  I can ride 45 miles, and I usually maintain a 14-15 mph average on solo rides, but I don't want to bite off more than I can chew for my first ride.

Thanks,
Shaun
