I can't think of any 'indie' groups (apart from @jakjakjak and my nascent CCC (Casual Cycling Club) of course) so maybe it's just worth joining one of the bigger ones - ABC, VNC, or Iceni - if you want regular groups?
I think the biggest draw for those larger groups is that you get consistent times for rides, and consistently good turnouts. The issue with 'us-on-here' is getting everyone together without some sort of formal framework. The mailing list for the Dandy rides worked perfectly, for example, but without something like that, and without someone willing to devise and then lead regular rides in a more official manner, it's always going to be too nebulous to be successful.
I've been tempted to start the CCC 'Dress Down Friday' evening rides - chilled, no pressure, after-work jobbies. Maybe I will.
