Richmond Park is always a good place to discover your capabilities. Ride out there or get the train and then ride the 7 mile loops in the knowledge that there are cafes to stop at and feed or rest should you need them, the hills are slight and short and there are plenty o other cyclists around. You will find that you can ride far further than you think you can. Once you have done that, you will have an idea of the distances that you can manage and then look for more varied routes. You will also see how you compare with other cyclists and may realise that you are ready for a group ride sooner than you imagine.
