I went out with Rollapaluza for my first ever club run yesterday, led by Bill.
It was my first ride of any size since being off the bike for 7 weeks and I needed an easy pace and not too many miles.
Needless to say, it was brilliant. There were five of us riding, and all of the other 4 looked after me and made sure that I only really got dropped once (the last hill of all, thanks Klaus!).
When I got home, having done 60 miles, I was exhausted and I had pushed my knees a bit too far, too quickly, but I loved it all, had met a group of great new people and was eager to go out again. I didn't even have to pay for my own tea and cake at the stop in Epping Forest :-)
I think you may want to try a different club.
