Hi Jon_S,
I started at the same level as you 8 months ago and never made it to an introductory ride as they were full up. Turn up to a Sunday C ride, keep your wits about you and listen to everyone - especially your ride leader - and you'll be fine. Let people know you're new and you'll be given advice: its a very friendly and helpful club. Your skills will improve - indeed the club holds specialist skills sessions frequently - and before you know it you'll be leading a C-ride.
