Any rides for beginners?

there's a routes database thread here somewhere. Take some from that? All it takes is to post in the last minute rides thread or just ask around your friends or on here if anyone's up for a ride on a certain day/time/distance. You could always go on Tricitybendix's afterworker rides, I understand they don't normally go too fast but are decent distances.

This is true. They are the equivalent of an after dinner stroll, except you don't get dinner and I normally get lost.
