Nice one, thanks Orestis. I might start with Regent's Park in that case. I tried to add myself to the intro ride in September but it's fully booked, will I automatically be notified if someone drops out?

Hi,
Have you signed up for membership? If so there is the option to take part in a skills session whilst waiting for the Intro to free up. This will be held at the beginning of September but we are only opening it to members at this stage. If not, I'm sure you'll be fine trying a Regent's Park or Sunday C ride

Hi,
we have rides running out of Whittington Park every Sunday. Not sure what the plan is for that particular day you are thinking, but there will be a ride for sure. We'll know more about the route closer to that time.
C Group rides are approximately 35-40 miles, at a speed of approximately 12-13 miles per hour. They often involve some hills, which everyone climbs at their own pace, and we regroup at the top. Cruising speed on the flat would probably be at around 15-16 miles per hour.
If you feel confident your legs are up to this, then please do feel free to join us on one of our Sunday C rides. Alternatively, join us on a Saturday morning Regents Park session, which is just an hour long, but a bit faster (its all flat!), followed by coffee at one of the cafe's nearby.
Intro rides are slower and shorter than the Sunday C group rides (~25 miles at maybe 11-12 miles per hour usually). We'll have one in October as well if you can't get a place for September, although it's worth mentioning that we do have last minute cancellations and you may be quick enough to grab a place for Sep 12.
Orestis
