I got riding again this summer after taking a couple of years off. I'm used to riding alone from 10 to 30 miles, but just registered for my first group ride with New York's Five Boro Bike Club. It's advertised as beginner friendly and covers about 25 miles through Brooklyn and Queens, so speed and distance won't be a problem and the bike won't be a limiting factor. But I'm a little nervous since I'm unused to riding in groups.
Anyone have some general tips for group rides?
FYI, my road bike is a single-speed to three-speed conversion (pictured below).
