Going on a group ride goes against the government advice, where they state exercise is fine with people you're living with ie. Not social diatanced from. But doing so with others is not.
Have you got a link to this? I've not seen any specific guidance.
I think at the moment, it's largely a personal judgement call. We have cancelled our club runs (obviously) but are encouraging members to carry on riding their bikes. Personally I think solo or in a pair is fine. For social distancing to work, it has to be sustainable and as @user48524 points out the NHS want healthy people who will shrug off this virus without medical intervention.
In Italy the reasoning against cycling was that any accident would put further strain on medical services. I think it that is the argument for light exercise only.
