    Me and a friend are signed up, also planning to attend the "Spring Ride" in Esher on 31st Jan.

    We have signed up for group 4 which has an average speed of 26km/h. Might try to move up a group if my form improves significantly.

    Are you planning on going to any of the spring rides? I'll miss #2 but hope to make all the others.

    I've started increasing my mileage by doing laps of Richmond Park and thinking about joining a club to get more experience of group riding.

    I would definitely recommend joining a club. You will learn bunch riding skills and it is also often safer if you are not used to road riding.
    I probably shall go on the spring rides as it'll be good to meet some of the people we'll see on the ride itself, and to get out on some routes away from my usual circuits around the Surrey Hills.
    I believe you can change groups during the ride according to how you feel but remember it's around 100 miles a day.
