Thanks, sounds good! I ride fixed (and currently n=1, so I don't get a choice about that either), but I think my gearing is possibly a bit high at the moment. Also I'm not really a big group rider, but I wouldn't be against trying it out again :)
SwissChap-
What's your gi / ratio? Anywhere from 66-74' is fine. Any sharp hill is short, and we regroup at the top of anything substantial. Also any 'proper' group riding usually only happens nearer the start of the ride when it's light (or when there is a straightforward TT section), and it's not like 3 inches from the front wheel and we're rotating or something. The group riding is more that we ride safely together and near each other (which is also a skill).
Anyway always nice to have new people along!

This should answer all your q's.
But in short, about 17mph and most ride fixed but there will always be at least one geared bike in the group. As long as you're riding fixed friendly then gears are very welcome. Some ride out and back bringing their total distance to about 100 miles for the evening. Majority get the train out and back.
Tonight is the last ride of the season officially, but if a nice evening pops up and the stars align there could be an out of season ride. Keep your eyes peeled. Very welcome!
