Beginner looking for club in Philly

I'm getting into sport cycling here in Philly & think it's about time to join a club. There's a bunch of them, which is cool. I'd appreciate any feedback on which ones folks might think more appropriate for a rank beginner; i.e. reasonably supportive, a variety of skill levels, including beginners like myself, and a low bike-nazi quotient. I expect I'll just have to try and see what fits my style, etc, but any tips in the right direction are appreciated.

Unless you feel like driving to rides, you're probably going to be restricted to the club in your area. (Although if you're downtown you might have a few choices).

Where do you live? (generally speaking)

I live right by downtown, so, it happens that I'm lucky enough to have a few options.
