What do you reckon would be this acceptable average speed for a forum ride? I am letting my fear of not being able to keep up put me off attempting to join in. At some point. In the future.

Whats the bad consequence of only being able to keep up 75% of the ride?

Probably between 15-20mph.
People go faster when they're together in a pack due to less wind resistance, so I wouldn't worry too much.
When you go on forum ride, just speak up that you're worried about being slow, I doubt they'll leave you in the dust once you're doing less than 18mph.

I'd forever pootle if I didn't do track. If I'm riding just to get out the house it doesnt matter how fast I go, unless I'm late getting home on time.
If I stopped doing track I'd be disappointed if I couldn't keep up on a forum ride. I really enjoy them so I guess that would be my motivation to at least maintain an acceptable average speed for a while.
